The words penned by Joe and used in the Royal Mails prestige Merchant Navy stamp book.
They scattered flowerers on the waves
Marked our hardy seamen’s graves
Since those floating blooms were cast
The peril’s over now and past
Shall our gratitude just sleep
Resting still across the deep?
Have our garlands sailed astray?
No. not on Merchant Navy Day!
