Cheers for the nice comments Please sing the song to any tune you feel fits Here is another song (Don't worry - it's the only other one) TRAWLER MEN GO OFF TO WAR Trawler-men go off to war To clear the seas, defend our shores They braved their lives for you & me Their names should go down in history CHORUS: Well, they fought on the seas, while the seas fought back And they never were far from hostile attack They cleared all the mines, to keep ships free And some know no graves, except the bottom of the sea The year was 1939 And our ships were threatened, by sea mines They braved their lives for you & me To ignore all the dangers, and clear the seas CHORUS: Well, they fought on the seas, while the seas fought back The Royal Naval Patrol Service A name that doesn't mean so much They braved their lives for you & me With a silver badge attached to their sleeve CHORUS: Well, they fought on the seas, while the seas fought back At Sparrows Nest in Lowestoft Lies a monument, with a ship on top They braved their lives for you & me Whose ghosts can be seen, still protecting the seas CHORUS: Well, they fought on the seas, while the seas fought back Try to remember, please don't forget Those forgotten sailors, on their small ships They braved their lives for you & me Their names should go down in history CHORUS: Well, they fought on the seas, while the seas fought back And they never were far from hostile attack They cleared all the mines, to keep ships free And some know no graves, except the bottom of the sea Ross Scrivener - 2003 Inspired by my Dad, Roy Scrivener's war time service
