Joe Taussig brought the first bunch Across from the U.S.A. To uphold President Wilson's words And make the U-boats pay. When asked about his readiness To take his turn at sea, He told Vice-Admiral Bayly He's as ready as could be. Along came the second crowd All full of pep and vim Anxious to take their chances But not to take a swim; They started out at thirty And zig-zagged as was led, Behind the flagship Rowan All the way to Kinsale Head. A Jupiter, chuck full of stores, Was sent away to France, The Walke and Sterett went along, To spoil old Fritz's chance; Upon completion of this trip, They joined, all full of vim, The mighty bunch of fighting craft, Commanded by Bill Sims. The next ones to join the force, Came with the old Neptune, The Perkins and the Jarvis too, Said it was none too soon. The other ships may be all right, For frolic or for fun, But it takes us to brave the seas, And battle with the "Hun." A mother ship was needed here, In fact we wanted two, The Melville was the first to come, The Dixie followed through. To make repairs, and give us grub, In fact they're very nice, But the only thing they cannot do, Is give us lots of ice. The Benham tried to make the dock, At Haulbowline one day, In fact I think upon the bridge, Was Jesse Bishop Gay. From stem to stern she scraped along, And cleared the whole port side, But he who saw it understood, It was only the damned tide. We sail the seas and drop the cans, To keep old Fritzy down, We ram and shoot and camouflage, To get the dirty hound. When he floods his ballast tanks, To get hlm safely home, He hears these words come roaring down, Into his microphone - From The Book of Navy Songs, USNA Note: Vice-Admiral Sims commanded U.S. anti-submarine forces. This was a song of the Torpedo-boat destroyers (ibid) RG @navy @Sailor @war @WWI filename[ SIMSFLOT play.exe SIMSFLOT RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Sir Patrick Spens, Sir Simon De Montford, Sir William Gower, Sittin On Top Of The World, Skibbereen, Skip To My Lou, Skiving, Skye Boat Song, Slieve Gallen Braes, Slovakia Anthem Text, Slovakia Native Anthem Text, Slovenia Anthem Text, Slovenia Native Anthem Text, Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette, Smut, Snatch And Grab It, Snoopys Christmas, So Early In The Spring, Sodden Clods Are Coming To Town A New Years Carol, Solar Carol, Soldier Maid, Soldier Soldier Will You Marry Me, Soldiers, Solid Fas, Solidarity Forever, Solomon Island Anthem Text, Some Talk Of Ronald Reagan, Some Things Never Change, Somebodys Grandmother, Somebodys Tall And Handsome, Someday Soon, Somerset Wassail, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Somewhere Overindulgence, Sommarbarn, Son De La Loma, Son Of A Gambolier, Song For A New Year, Song For Canada, Song For Ireland, Song From Lucifers Hammer, Song Of The Ada, Song Of The Classes, Song Of The Fishes, Song Of The Iron Road, Song Of The Seals, Song Of The Splintered Shillelagah, Song Of The Temperance Union, Sons Of Liberty, Soon One Mornin Death Come Creepin, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
