Throw Out The Life Line by Norfolk Jubilee Quartet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave
There is a brother who someone should save
Somebody's brother! Oh, who then will dare
To throw out the Life-Line, his peril to share?

[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

[Verse 2]
Throw out the Life-Line with hand quick and strong
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See! He is sinking; oh, hasten today
And out with thе Life-Boat! Away, then, away!

[Chorus]
Throw out the Lifе-Line! Throw out the Life-Line!
Someone is drifting away
Throw out the Life-Line! Throw out the Life-Line!
Someone is sinking today
