It's as black as the gates Of sheol,
there's never CLINT Of light.
And the crows nest sways and the
winds in the stays
AS we buck through dirty night;
The deck is pitching platform, the
hold is a heaving sink,
While the phosphor sparks wash by in
the dark
Like necklace. link on link.
It's rotten time for a murder by a
Hun and U-boat crew,
But never you fret that you'll wake up
For the Navy'll see you through.
With two clean guns to starboard and a
fancy pair to port,
And a five to stern and good ammo to
burn,
We are primed for bit of sport.
There's a wird-browned gun crew
Jackie to left and right at each bore
Who will nudge the shield of a piece
ful-heeled
Till we raise the coast we're for.
Not deck but is cleared for action, not
post but a lookouts there,
So if Fritz should Turk for his black
guard work
He'd dam sight we'll take care.
When the hold is TERED with khaki, by
raider and storm and mine,
It's the sailors show up aloft and be-
low,
To ferry US over the brine.
No trace of fuss or hurry, they handle
the whole parade
And steer the jaunt past the subbies
haunt
Still beating the old blockade.
All the run of the foam-fringed sea
trail as the troopship toys vita
Let the soldier sleep on the snare-set
While the Jackie guards his mate.
