“<p>Father won’t you carry me<br/>
For the ocean is wide<br/>
Father won’t you carry me<br/>
For my boat is small</p>
<p>Father on the moonless night<br/>
Help me cross the stormy sea<br/>
Out here in the darkness<br/>
Help me find my way back home</p>
<p>Father won’t you carry me<br/>
For the ocean is wide<br/>
Father won’t you carry me<br/>
For my boat is small</p>
<p>Father in the season of dying<br/>
Let me sleep in your arms<br/>
And come watch over me<br/>
Someone watching over me, over me</p>
<p>Father won’t you carry me</p>”
