Cecil Gone in the Time of Storm

I remember the day
Cecil sailed across the bay
He hoisted his sails in the sun
Then the storm winds blowed
Were a storm I ever knowed
Cecil gone in the time of storm

[Chorus]
Cecil gone in the time of storm
Cecil gone in the time of storm
Will there come a time in the morning when we see that ship come sailing home
What gone in the time of storm

Lord(?) his mother and sister, they waved to him goodbye
Now they're waitin' alone
And his friends and his sweetheart
They're all left behind
When he sailed in the time of storm

[Chorus]

I remember next morning
The boat was washed ashore
His darlin' girl wept on my arm
I believe Cecil drowned
I believe he won't be found
Cecil gone in the time of storm

{chorus]

Oh he sailed from the island
To get his love a wedding dress
Now I know it will never be worn
And the preacher will be preaching but there won't be any happiness
Gone in the time of storm

Cecil gone in the time of storm
Cecil gone in the time of storm
When the storm clouds are all o'er we will meet him on a better shore
Gone in the time of storm
