Letra
I had seen the captain drinking I don't know what he was thinking When he took that stinking cargo out: Without a doubt He went too far But he will take us out to sea Eighty thousand metric tons of crude A crew of twenty-one Were pounding through the ocean Just ajar her screws in motion All the stars rotating in their canopy Black gold Rolling in the hold Back and forth In time for every swell Black gold Time would now unfold The heavens fixed Upon our last farewell To this black gold Then she hit the water with a shudder It had got her As she went down Heard to utter was the captain in his cups "What's up?" says "In my gut I know we all are doomed!" She broke up A hemorrhage of oil gushed A rage, a broil from the soiled foil of her hull And she was pulled beneath The waves into her grave down in the gloom Black gold My heart is still in pain My mandolin will tell her how I feel Black gold Bounding on the main An agony of ebony and steel All this black gold What great balls of fire felt for miles around A river spelt an ess of oil slithering To leave your blackened It is not romantic in the morning And never mind come hithering Slick stick on the shore Seaside panic scores of frantic birds Yet antic as they slog through all It augurs as an ecologic nightmare to be sure I'm the way the resurrection: Christ I'd say on him reflecting I'm not sure he'd feel secure With what we're doing here For sure Lead us clear out of this dark He'd want to Down the deepest trenches Man is stewing in his stench Their cadavers hold palaver And the gravity of their endeavors Cleverly convert them into shark Black gold Nature's upper hand With ladies in Mercedes on the strand Black gold Hades' high command The tar upon her car and in the sand All this black gold
