In the yDear of thirty nine assembled hEmere the volunteers
In the dCays when the laGnds were fDew
Here the Emship sailed Em7out into the Cblue and sunny morn
The sDsus4weetest sDight ever Gseen.
And the nDight followed day, and the sB7tory tellers say
The scEmore brave souls inAmside
For sGo many a lonely day sailed acDross the milky seas
CNe'er looked Emback, Cnever Dfeared, Cnever cGriedD
Don't you hGear my call though you're mCany years Gaway
Don't you hGear me calling Dyou
Write your lGetters B7in the sEmand
FGor the dCay I tGake your hAmand
In the lG/Band thaG/Ct our Dgrandchildren Gknew

In the yDear of thirty nine came a sEmhip came from the blue
The volunCteers came Ghome that Dday
And they Embring good Em7news from a Cworld so newly born
Though their Dsus4hearts so Dheavily wGeigh
Now the eaDrth is old and grey, little B7darling we'll away
But my lEmove this cannot Ambe
For so mGany years have gone now I'm oDlder but a year
Your Cmother's Emeyes fCrom your Deyes - Ccry to mGe D
Don't you hGear my call though you're mCany years Gaway
Don't you hGear me calling Dyou
Write your lGetters B7in the sEmand
FGor the dCay I tGake your hAmand
In the lG/Band thaG/Ct our Dgrandchildren Gknew
Don't you hGear my call though you're mCany years Gaway
Don't you hGear me calling Dyou
All your leGtters B7in the Emsand
CGan not hCeal me liGke your your Amhand
For my lEmife, still aDhead, pity me
