The Wheelsman Lyrics

First there was the Charles Price
which came out in the storm
between the raging waves above
we saw her, weather-torn
they found her floating turtle
o'er the crew who paid their lives
we never even said goodbye
to the good ship Charles Price
So not while I'm the wheelsman
will the Hawgood see deep water
the sirens of Lake Huron wish to taste
another crew
our plates are bent by gouging waves
as we face the cruel nor'easter
I'll beach her at Point Edward
and that's all that i will do

Regina joined us in the gale
we saw her plough the seas
I told the captain
looks like we may have some company
i saw her lights before me
then in an instant, she was gone
her captain proud and sailors brave
will never see the morn'
So not while I'm the wheelsman
will the Hawgood see deep water
the sirens of Lake Huron wish to taste
another crew
our plates are bent by gouging waves
as we face the cruel nor'easter
I'll beach her at Point Edward
and that's all that i will do
Isaac Scott last we saw
on Sunday afternoon
the winds of fury mounted up
her death was coming soon
go out to deeper water
was the captain's cry
he said I'll chart the course
and we'll brave this storm
but the wheelsman said not on my...
No, not while I'm the wheelsman
will the Hawgood see deep water
the sirens of Lake Huron wish to taste
another crew
our plates are bent by gouging waves
as we face the cruel nor'easter
I'll beach her at Point Edward
and that's all that I will do
