Lanza's Shore (feat. lyrics Sue Kendrick)

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
