Select language to translate this lyric
On a clear April day, 1963
Took a memorable ride on a silver submarine
One hundred plus men
John Wesley Harvey and me
All aboard the SSN-593
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, down, down, down,
Harvey to base
We're at one thousand feet
Jimmy's doing real good
I think he's getting a hold of this thing
Then the rattle of pipes
Then the hiss of the steam
I was the man of the hour til alarm bells started ringing
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin down, down, down, down,
Oh Thresher
Can't take no more
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
Wonder and fear
Unending black sea
Held everyone's gaze in quiet humility
Mother ocean we are
At the mercy of thee
Like children in uniform balancing on your knee
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, down, down, down,
Oh Thresher
Can't take no more
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
Oh Thresher
Can't take no more
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
