Eh I By - Ocean Ranger Lyrics

On a cold February night, far from Newfoundland's shore,
The Ocean Ranger stood tall, as waves began to roar.
A mighty rig, they said, the strongest of them all,
But no one knew that night, how far it soon would fall.

Oh, Ocean Ranger, lost to the sea,
Eighty-four souls, now reside with thee.
In the heart of the storm, where the waves collide,
We remember the night of your last ride.

The wind howled like a banshee, the sea a beast untamed,
With waves that towered high, the night that hell was named.
The rig began to shudder, the crew fought through the fear,
But the ocean's wrath was merciless, and the end was drawing near.

Oh, Ocean Ranger, lost to the sea,
Eighty-four souls, now wild and free.
In the heart of the storm, where the waves collide,
We remember the night of your last ride.

Far from their homes, those brave men fought,
In the darkest hours, their hope was sought.
But the sea took hold, with a grip so tight,
And pulled them down into the night.

The rescue never came, the dawn revealed the loss,
A floating grave of steel, beneath the waves it was tossed.
The news reached St. John's, and tears began to fall,
For fathers, sons, and brothers, who answered the ocean's call.

Oh, Ocean Ranger, lost to the sea,
Eighty-four souls, now wild and free.
In the heart of the storm, where the waves collide,
We remember the night of your last ride.

Now the ocean sings their lullaby, in waves that kiss the shore,
A reminder of the lives they lived, and the ones we'll see no more.
We carry on their memory, in hearts that will not fade,
For those who sailed the Ocean Ranger, and the price that they have paid.

Oh, Ocean Ranger, lost to the sea,
Eighty-four souls, now wild and free.
In the heart of the storm, where the waves collide,
We remember the night of your last ride.

Oh, Ocean Ranger, in the deep you rest,
Your story lives on, in the east and the west.
In the songs we sing and the tales we tell,
We honor the lives that stormy night fell.
