Throw out the lifeline....

Throw out the lifeline across the dark wave;
There is a brother whom someone should save;
Somebody's brother! Oh, who then will dare
To throw out the lifeline, his peril to share?

Refrain:
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is drifting away;
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is sinking today.

A popular Victorian Temperance song! Here is how it sounded. Throw out the lifeline

The walk from Fisherrow to the mouth of the Esk is a pleasant way to pass a Saturday morning hour.
