GUEST,Chalkie Runswick Bay 'Do' (11 March 2006) (80* d) RE: RUNSWICK BAY 'DO' 08 Feb 06

There is already a lifeboat song titled 1901 which, based on a true story, recounts an act of bravery by the lifeboat men of the Caistor coast, just North of Yarmouth. Unfortunately this song ends with 9 of the 12 lifeboat men being drowned after being called out on a terrible night and never actually finding the boat that they went out to rescue. There were probably many a lifeboat called out that night.

I learned it a few years ago but, I don't know why, I have only ever sung it out once but it has a good chorus "Roll away Roll away, you stormy sea's so black, roll away, roll away, for brave boys never turn back".

Still hoping I can make it with Duncan & Audrey Nick, so maybe I'll get a chance to sing it out for a second time.
