Sink The Bismarck Johnny Horton

[Verse 1]
In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
Yeah, hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down

[Verse 3]
The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away
"We gotta sink the Bismark" was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down

[Verse 4]
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!"
