Sink The Bismarck Lyrics - Johnny Horton

In May of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun 

The Germans had the biggest ship, they had the biggest guns 

The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea 

On her deck were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees 

Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship, the Hood 

And every British seaman, he knew and understood 

They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the sea 

Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees 

We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss 

We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us 

Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around 

When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down 

The Hood found the Bismarck on that fatal day 

The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away 

"We gotta sink the Bismarck" was the battle sound 

But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down

For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail 

Churchill told the people "put every ship a-sail 

'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be 

We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea" 

We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss 

We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us 

Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around 

When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down 

The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the mornin' sun 

Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run 

The admiral of the British fleet said "turn those bows around 

We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down" 

The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast 

The first shell hit the Bismarck, they knew she couldn't last 

That mighty German battleship is just a memory 

"Sink the Bismarck" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
