-1-1--nh-aqidgam SAlLOR'S PRAYER Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep Grant no other sailor take My shoes and socks before I wake. Lord guard me in my slumber And keep my hammock on its number. May no clues or lashings break And let me down before I wake. Keep me safely in Thy sight And grant no fire-drill tonight. And in the morning let me wake Breathing scents of sirloin steak. Cod protect me in my dreams And make this better than it seems Grant the time may swiftly fly When myself shall rest on high ln a snowy featherbed, Where I long to rest my head. Far away from all these scenes From the smells of half-done beans. 'Fake me hack into the land Where no demon typhoon blows, Where the women wash the clothes. God Thou knowest all my woes Feed me in my dying throes. Take me back, llll promise then Never to leave home again. Four year's later Our Father who art in Washington lHeavenJ Please, Dear Father, let me stay, Do not drive me now away. Wipe away my scalding tears And let me stay my 30 years. Please forgive me all my past And things that happened at the mast Do not my request refuse, Let me stay another cruise. Amen Author Unknown H5 E
