APOLLO
I reckon that I loved my work with energy and pride,
Aboard the old Apollo until our trade just died,
Redundant in my prime, my life could not redeem,
That’s the only reason I left the Bristol Steam.
It’s well I do remember that black and awful day,
When the Owners gave me orders to take my ship away,
They sold her to some foreigners so ending up my dream,
And flew a different house flag of unfamiliar green.
I sailed with other companies that answered to my call,
Losing touch with loyal crew - I missed them one and all,
I was the man that led the band with mighty high esteem,
Bur remember now the good old days aboard the Bristol Steam.
