The Limeliters - Grace Darling lyrics

'Twas on the long stone lighthouse There dwelt an English maid, Pure as the air around her, of danger ne'er afraid, One morning just at daybreak A storm tossed wreck she spied And tho to try seemed madness I will save the crew she cried! She pulled away on the rolling sea Over the waters blue 'Help Help' she could hear the cry Of the ship wrecked crew But Grace had an English heart and she knew how to handle an oar 'help help' came the desperate yelp from the wreck off shore, 'Help Help' came the desperate yelp from the wreck off shore. They to the rock were clinging A crew of nine all told. Between them and the lighthouse The sea like mountains rolled. Said Grace 'Come help me father, We'll launch the boat, cried she Her father cried 'Tis madness, To face that raging sea.' She pulled away on the rolling sea Over the waters blue 'Help Help' she could hear the cry Of the ship wrecked crew But Grace had an English heart and she knew how to handle a boat 'help help' came the desperate yelp they were still afloat 'Help Help' came the desperate yelp they were still afloat. She bravely rode the billows And reached the rock at legnth She saved the storm tossed sailors In heaven alone her strength Go tell the wide world over What English pluck can do And sing of brave Grace Darling Who nobly saved the crew. She pulled away on the rolling sea Over the waters blue 'Help Help' she could hear the cry Of the ship wrecked crew But Grace had an English heart and the raging storm she braved 'help help' That was beautiful again 'help help' I think you're really drownding 'help help' For England again, She pulled away with the dashing spray and the crew she saved.
