Burl Ives - Throw out the lifeline Chorus Throw out the life line Throw out the life line Someone is drifting away Throw out the life line Throw out the life line Someone is sinking today Throw out the life line Across the dark water There is a brother that someone could save Somebody's brother needs help today [chorus] Throw out the life line With hands big and strong Why do you tempt me Why must you wait so long You see me sinking Hasten today Throw out the life line I'm drifting away [chorus] Throw out the life line Danger from man Someone's in trouble Do the best you can Ain't in temptation Pillars of woe Throw out the life line When darkness takes over [chorus] [chorus] [chorus]
