[Verse 1]
In the yDear of '39 assembled hEmere the volunteers
In the dCays when the laGnds were fDew
Here the sEmhip sailed out into the bClue and sunny morn
The sDsus4weetest sDight ever Gseen.
And the niDght followed day, and the stEbdimory tellers say
That the scEmore brave souls inAmside
ForG many a lonely day sailed acrDoss the milky seas
NCe'er looked bEmack, neCver fDeared, Cnever crGied D
[Chorus]
Don't you hGear my call though you're mCany years away
Don't you hGear me calling Dyou
Write your lGetters B7in the sEmand
FGor the dCay I tGake your hAmand
In the lGand that ouDr grandchildren kGnew

[Verse 2]
In the yDear of '39 came a sEmhip in from the blue
The voluCnteers came hoGme that daDy
And they Embring good news of a woCrld so newly born
Though theiDsus4r hearts so hDeavily weGigh
For the eaDrth is old and grey, little Ebdimdarling, we'll away
But my lEmove this cannot Ambe
For so mGany years have gone though I'm oDlder but a year
Your mCother'sEm eyes fCrom yDour eyes - Ccry to mGe D
[Chorus]
Don't you hGear my call though you're mCany years away
Don't you hGear me calling Dyou
Write your lGetters B7in the sEmand
FGor the dCay I tGake your hAmand
In the lGand that ouDr grandchildren kGnew
[Outro]
Don't you hGear my call though you're mCany years away
Don't you hGear me calling Dyou
All your letGters inB7 the sanEmd
CGan not hCeal me liGke your your Amhand
For my lEmife, still aDhead, pity mGe
