It was eight bells ringingA
For the morning watch was doneB
And the gunner's lads were singingA
As they polished every gunB
It was eight bells ringingA
And the gunner's lads were singingA
For the ship she rode a swingingA
As they polished every gunB
-
Oh to see the linstock lightingA
T m raire T m raireC
Oh to hear the round shot bitingA
T m raire T m raireC
-
Oh to see the linstock lightingA
And to hear the round shot bitingA
For we're all in love with fightingA
On the fighting T m raireC
-
It was noontide ringingA
And the battle just begunB
When the ship her way was wingingA
As they loaded every gunB
It was noontide ringingA
When the ship her way was wingingA
And the gunner's lads were singingA
As they loaded every gunB
-
There'll be many grim and goryC
T m raire T m raireC
There'll be few to tell the storyC
T m raire T m raireC
-
There'll be many grim and goryC
There'll be few to tell the storyC
But we'll all be one in gloryC
With the Fighting T m raireC
-
There's a far bell ringingA
At the setting of the sunB
And a phantom voice is singingA
Of the great days doneB
There's a far bell ringingA
And a phantom voice is singingA
Of renown for ever clingingA
To the great days doneB
-
Now the sunset breezes shiverC
T m raire T m raireC
And she's fading down the riverC
T m raire T m raireC
-
Now the sunset's breezes shiverC
And she's fading down the riverC
But in England's song for everC
She's the Fighting T m raireC
