OVER THE SEAS AND FAR AWAY
Chorus:- " Over the seas and far away
The call of the sea caused me to stray
So far from home and family
I only ask - " Remember Me "
Britain needed us they said
The seagulls cries they on us led
Out there we earned each crust of bread
And now we are your Honoured Dead.
Over the seas and far away
The call of the sea caused me to stray
So far from home and family
I only ask - " Remember Me "
We strived with all our might and main
To bring our cargoes home again
Food and weaponry supplied
Laid down our lives, so many died.
Over the seas and far away
The call of the sea caused me to stray
So far from home and family
I only ask - " Remember Me "
So here we lie in a watery grave
" Not all returned " - though many saved
Remember us - Remember well
We are the ones who gave our all.
Over the seas and far away
The call of the sea caused me to stray
So far from home and family
I only ask - " Remember Me ".
