Sink The Bismarck lyrics by Johnny Horton
In May of nineteen fortyonethe war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest
ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismark was the fastest ship
that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as
teers and shells as big as trees
Out of the cold one foggy night
came the British ship, the �Hood�
And every British seaman
he knew and understood
they had to sink the Bismarck
the thrill 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 making such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark
'cause the world depends on us
We�ll hit the decks a running boys
and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark
we gotta cut her down
The Hood found the Bismark
and on that fatal day
the Bismark started firing
fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismark
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 every ship asail
'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 making such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark
'cause the world depends on us
We�ll hit the decks a running boys
and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark
we gotta cut her down
The fog was gone
the seventh day and
they saw the morning sun
Ten hours away from homeland
the Bismark 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 coming fast
The first shell hit the Bismark
they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship
is just a memory
Sink the Bismark was the battle cry
that shook the seven seas
We found that German battleship
a making such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark
'cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a running
and we spun those guns around
Yeah, we found that mighty Bismark
and begun to cut her down
We found that German battleship
for making such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark
'cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a running
and we spun those guns around
We found that mighty Bismark
and then we cut her down
