Lyrics

Our beloved barquentine
A finer ship I've never seen
Sturdy, stubborn, strong as oak
She took us far as she could go
Until she came under attack
by the pressure of the pack

And as her days began to wane
The flightless birds sang the refrain

Goodnight, sweet chariot, goodnight
Oh how the emperors they cried
Goodnight, sweet chariot, goodnight
Oh how the emperors they cried all through the night

She put up a noble fight
for thirty days and thirty nights
As her timbers creaked and moaned
we heard them crack like breaking bone
Her mighty stern was last to go
It disappeared beneath the floe

And on the day she slipped away
The flightless birds, they gathered and sang

Goodnight, sweet chariot, goodnight
Oh how the emperors they cried all through the night
Sweet chariot, goodnight
Oh how the emperors they cried all through the night
