Father won't you carry me
For the ocean is wide
Father won't you carry me
For my boat is so small

Father on a moonless night
Help me cross the stormy sea
Out here in the darkness
Help me find my way back home

Father won't you carry me
For the oceans wide
Father won't you carry me
For my boat is so small

Father in this season of dying
Let me sleep in your arms
And come watch over me
Someone watching over me, over me

Father won't you carry me
Father won't you carry me
Father won't you carry me home
