Sink The Bismarck Lyrics


In May of 1941 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 sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as treesOut of the cold and foggy night came the British ship The Hood
And every 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 treesWe'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around
And when we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her downThe Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away
'We gotta sink the Bismarck' was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went downFor six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people put every ship asail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the seaWe'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around

When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her downThe fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning 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 downThe British guns were aimed and the shells were coming 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 seasWe found the German battleship t'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 downWe found the German battleship t'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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 – November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably in 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording.
