Artist | Johnny Horton |
Album | Johnny Horton: Makes History |
[00:12.98] | In May of 1941 the war had just begun1941 |
[00:16.92] | The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns |
[00:21.10] | The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea |
[00:24.74] | On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees |
[00:29.44] | Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood |
[00:33.61] | And every British seaman he knew and understood |
[00:37.81] | They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea |
[00:41.43] | Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees |
[00:45.97] | We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss |
[00:49.93] | We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us |
[00:53.97] | Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around |
[00:57.56] | When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down |
[01:06.04] | The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day |
[01:10.26] | The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away |
[01:14.40] | We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound |
[01:18.43] | But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down |
[01:22.67] | For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail |
[01:26.79] | Churchill told the people put every ship asail |
[01:30.88] | Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be |
[01:35.01] | We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea |
[01:39.38] | We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss |
[01:43.36] | We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us |
[01:47.04] | Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around |
[01:51.12] | When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down |
[01:59.14] | The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun |
[02:03.22] | Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run |
[02:07.20] | The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around |
[02:11.39] | We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down |
[02:18.28] | The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast |
[02:22.31] | The first shell hit the Bismarck they knew she couldn't last |
[02:26.47] | That mighty German battleship is just a memory |
[02:30.20] | Sink the Bismarck was the battle cry that shook the seven seas“ |
