Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Penlee Lifeboat Disaster- and others
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Penlee lifeboat disaster
If you can't find a Solomon Browne song, Jon Heslop has written half a dozen excellent lifebboat songs including An Ordinary Sort of Man, Before the sea Calls and the Lifeboat Prayer which was written for the crew of the Port Isaac lifeboat, Cornwall, when their boat went down. That's the one that has the words on the RNLI gold medal for gallantry in the chorus 'let not the deep swallow me up'. Always goes down well at Lifeboat nights
