lirik lagu dover lights – men they couldn’t hang
waiting for morning on the ferry boat deck 5 miles out of calais
tired and cold and wet to the skin watching the waves and the spray
ten years have gone by like the roll of the tide since i signed for the
merchant marine
now all i want is dry land and a home in a country that i’ve rarely seen
home, hurry home
to valleys green
and cliffs so tall and so white
home, hurry home
i can see the lights of dover through the night
teachers of england instructed me well, strength comes from iron and fire
freedom was won from the barrel of a gun, law comes from palace and spire
i carried the wealth of this land ‘cross the sea till the ships and the cargoes
grew slack
now many jack tar is washed up in a bar and many ships will never come back
the ship’s bar is closed, there’s a gang of fifteen talking of flags and of
blood
drunken with fighting the face of john bull stands for violence, england and god
did i dream of a homeland so distantly remembered
of warmth, work, welfare, peace for all?
