It was a skipper of Lowestoft	A
That trawled the northern sea	B
In a smack of thrice ten tons and seven	C
And the	D
Britain's Pride	A
was she	B
And the waves were high to windward	A
And the waves were high to lee	B
And he said as he lost his trawl net	A
'What is to be will be '	E
	-
His craft she reeled and staggered	A
But he headed her for the hithe	D
In a storm that threatened to mow her down	F
As grass is mown by the scythe	D
When suddenly through the cloud rift	A
The moon came sailing soft	A
And he saw one mast of a sunken ship	G
Like a dead arm held aloft	A
	-
And a voice came faint from the rigging	H
'Help help ' it whispered and sighed	A
And a single form to the sole mast clung	I
In the roaring darkness wide	A
Oh the crew were but four hands all told	A
On board of the	D
Britain's Pride	A
	-
And ever 'Hold on till daybreak '	-
Across the night they cried	A
	-
Slowly melted the darkness	J
Slowly rose the sun	C
And only the lad in the rigging	H
Was left out of thirty one	C
To tell the tale of his captain	C
The English sailor true	K
That did his duty and met his death	D
As English sailors do	K
	-
Peace to the gallant spirit	A
The greatly proved and tried	A
And to all who have fed the hungry sea	B
That is still unsatisfied	A
And honour and glory for ever	L
While rolls the unresting tide	A
To the skipper of little Lowestoft	A
And the crew of the	D
Britain's Pride	A
	-
