the sea

the sea

the first day i wen't to sea i remember
it wasn't july it was december
the son of a seaman i expected to fare well
but to me it was pure hell
the high waves , the mist,and the fog was thick
it's no wonder as a young man i got horribly sick
some days were normal and we would see a whale
but in the north atlantic the wind blew a gale
we were on duty twenty hours each daya
protecting the merchant ships on their way
when the alarm went on in the middle of the night
from your hammock you would run in full flight
some depth charges were dropped while others we would catupult
hoping to get the subamarines that were about
sometimes the waves were thirty feet high
and above was a very black sky
when we returned to port and our duty was done
it was now time to have some fun
many people i met and became friends to be
and a few are still out in the cold ,blue sea
after three years of service i was finally free
and i kissed the ground and danced with glee
