Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Port Chicago Ca1944 ammo ship explosi
song challenge--

it was in the summer of 44
the nation and the world were at war
the ammo loaders said we will work no more
since the explosion at the port.

they raced to load the bombs on board
two ships being loaded there on the pier
tons of munitions waiting on shore
to be shipped out of the port

It seems there should bve a song about this..
So here is a start...

song writing is not my forte'
but i jsut want to plant the seed...
see what y'all can add (or subtract!)
