the lifeboat mona - the sheringham shantymen lyrics
[chorus]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
remember the gallant men who drowned
on the lifeboat, mona was her name
[verse 1]
the wind did blow and the sea rose up
beat the land with mighty wave
at st andrew’s bay, the lightship fought
the sea until her moorings gave
[chorus]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
remember the gallant men who drowned
on the lifeboat, mona was her name
[verse 2]
the captain signalled to the shore:
“we must have help or we’ll go down!”
from broughty ferry at 2 a.m.
they sent the lifeboat mona ’round
[chorus]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
remember the gallant men who drowned
on the lifeboat, mona was her name
[verse 3]
eight men formed that gallant crew
they set their boat against the main
the wind so hard and the sea so rough
they’d never see land or home again
[chorus]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
remember the gallant men who drowned
on the lifeboat, mona was her name
[verse 4]
the hours went by and the mona called
“the wind blows hard and the sea runs high”
in the morning on carnoustie beach
the mona and her crew did lie
[chorus]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
remember the gallant men who drowned
on the lifeboat, mona was her name
[verse 5]
five lay drowned in the [cabin] there
two a*washed up on the shore
eight men died when the boat capsized
and the eighth is lost forevermore
[chorus]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
remember the gallant men who drowned
on the lifeboat, mona was her name
[chorus (altered)]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
the men who leave the land behind
and the men who’ll never see land again
[chorus (altered)]
remember december, ’59
the howling wind and the driving rain
the men who leave the land behind
and the men who’ll never see land again
