Verse 2 : three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower , they trimmed the lamps as the sun went down , and they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower , and the night wrack came rollin’ in , ragged and brown . Chorus Verse 3 : three corpses lay out on the shining sand , in the morning gleam as the tide went down , and the women were weepin’ and wringin’ their hands , for those who would never come back to the town .
