[Verse 1]
I served as a sailor
It was back in '81
I can't say I'm sorry
I volunteered for what I done
We trained and we waited
We would not be outdone
And then one day six battleships
Came out of the rising sun
So we all manned our stations
We passed a jug of wine
We waited with patience
We waited for a sign
First thunder, then lightning
Then the ringing in my ears
I can still hear that screaming
Even after all of these years
[Chorus]
Cape Henry, Cape Henry
Battlefield on fire
On water, white water
With them flames climbing higher
We fired our cannon
At least two hours or more
Cape Henry, Cape Henry
Off of that old Virginia shore
I served as a sailor
It was back in '81
I can't say I'm sorry
I volunteered for what I done
We trained and we waited
We would not be outdone
And then one day six battleships
Came out of the rising sun
So we all manned our stations
We passed a jug of wine
We waited with patience
We waited for a sign
First thunder, then lightning
Then the ringing in my ears
I can still hear that screaming
Even after all of these years
[Chorus]
Cape Henry, Cape Henry
Battlefield on fire
On water, white water
With them flames climbing higher
We fired our cannon
At least two hours or more
Cape Henry, Cape Henry
Off of that old Virginia shore
