16 fathoms down
Where my ship is bound
Another drop in the ocean
16 fathoms down
She said, “Sailor man, believe me
I stand on solid ground
You say your plan is to leave me
And sail out from this town
You know prophecy runs in my family
I know where your ship is bound
One day you’re going to find yourself
16 fathoms down.”
16 fathoms down
Where my soul is bound
Another drop in the ocean
16 fathoms down
I didn’t pay no mind to her
I just turned around
My ship lies out in the harbor
I sail out from this town
My thoughts become uneasy
Her words keep turning ‘round
I pray that I won’t find myself
16 fathoms down
16 fathoms down
Where my soul is bound
Another drop in the ocean
16 fathoms down

A storm will rage inside me
As I sail out on the sound
I pray to God this darkness pass
I pray that I won’t drown
Now the sails are blown to bloody rags
The mizzen mast come down
The prophecy has doomed me
16 fathoms down
Of course, God come to find me
In the place where the ship went down
The prophecy will bind me
And that’s where I’ll be drowned
16 fathoms down
Where my ship is bound
Another drop in the ocean
16 fathoms down
