GUEST,JoshN Lyr Req: Last chorus: 'Finished with engines...' (7) Lyr Req: Last chorus: 'Finished with engines...' 05 Mar 26


Looking for a song I saw in print but never heard. Probably UK origin; probably written in the last 50 years or so.

It's about working at sea. If I remember properly, the choruses vary a bit one from another, but they include orders from the old bridge-to-engine-room Engine Order Telegraph device - the one I remember was from the last chorus: "Finished With Engines."

And somewhere in the verses was the line "Sailing off to who knows where, and returning who knows when".

The searches I've tried so far haven't worked, so I'm hoping someone's memory will beat the algorithms.

:)

Many thanks!
