SAIL ON:
Sail on my friends, in convoy`s keep,
Leave me here in the deep to sleep,
I watch you go mid`st bubbling wake,
You will not stop – too much at stake.
Sail on old friends, my ship`s gone down,
It won`t be long before I drown,
Tell my loved ones – all that knew me,
Torpedo`s target – lost at sea.
Sail on my friends, you may survive,
Our vital cargoes must arrive,
Take a drink if you reach port,
Remember me – give us a thought.
Steam on young seamen – go full speed,
Our Country`s at it`s greatest need,
I give my life for others bread,
Farewell mates – now I`m dead.
