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
