Johnny Horton - Sink The Bismarck lyrics

In May of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas On her deck were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood And ev'ry British seaman, he knew and understood They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the sea Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away "We gotta sink the Bismarck" was the battle sound But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail Churchill told the people "Put ev'ry ship a-sail 'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea" We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the mornin' sun Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run The admiral of the British fleet said "Turn those bows around We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down" The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast The first shell hit the Bismarck, they knew she couldn't last That mighty German battleship is just a memory "Sink the Bismarck" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around Yeah, we found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around We found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
