Lanza's Shore ft. lyrics Sue Kendrick Lyrics

I am a seamans wife

My name is Betty Gray

And on one bitter winters day

My man did sail away

He shipped aboard a submarine

Unbridled was her name

Until the old man spoke for change

And Vandal she became

Oh, hide or die the seabirds cry

When the gods are on the water

Ill luck gleams in their angry eyes

Lambs they are to slaughter

Oh well I remember when he set sail

From Lanzas lonely shore

The sky was full of screaming gulls

And the new moon wrapped in the old ones shawl

Oh, hide or die the seabirds cry

When the gods are on the water

Ill luck gleams in their angry eyes

Lambs they are to slaughter

Thirty seven brave sailor men

Did sail away that day

Thirty seven for Englands sake

But none came back again

Now the years roll on and the war is done

And broken hearts grow stronger

Ill weep no more on Lanzas shore

And look for him no longer

Oh, hide or die the seabirds cry

When the gods are on the water

Ill luck gleams in their angry eyes

Lambs they are to slaughter
