JOHN HAWLEY
Come all you Nova Scotians,
And listen unto me.
I’ll tell you of John Hawley,
Who ran away to sea.
He sailed aboard the ROSEWAY,
A schooner on the Banks.
He learned the ways of fishing,
For a living gave his thanks.
He worked aboard the CAROLUS,
During war time I was told.
Away again to ride the waves,
In waters harsh and cold.
The CAROLUS had crossed the hairs,
Of a U-Boat seeking prey.
The ship was lost John Hawley lived,
To tell us of that day.
In time the war was over,
Running lights bright on the sea.
John Hawley came home safe and sound,
To his loving family.
