The Lady Cable
At Dunkirk there was danger
From the sky, port and starboard
Skippered by Frank Gooding
She'd sailed from Torquay's harbour
Peace for our time Chamberlain had said
But from Dunkirk good lord how we had fled
At Dunkirk there was danger
From the sky, stern and starboard
Called the Lady Cable
She'd sailed from Torquay's harbour
Hitler's missed the bus Chamberlain had said
But at Dunkirk you know we left so many dead
In peacetime she would sail around Torbay
Ferrying passengers for many a happy day
At Dunkirk she'd crept close to the shore
Rescued six hundred men and some thirty more
At Dunkirk there was danger
From above, port and starboard
Called the Lady Cable
She'd sailed from Torquay's harbour
Peace for our time Chamberlain had said
But from Dunkirk good lord how we had fled
Hitler's missed the bus Chamberlain had said
But at Dunkirk you know we left so many dead
From the sky, port and starboard
Skippered by Frank Gooding
She'd sailed from Torquay's harbour
Peace for our time Chamberlain had said
But from Dunkirk good lord how we had fled
At Dunkirk there was danger
From the sky, stern and starboard
Called the Lady Cable
She'd sailed from Torquay's harbour
Hitler's missed the bus Chamberlain had said
But at Dunkirk you know we left so many dead
In peacetime she would sail around Torbay
Ferrying passengers for many a happy day
At Dunkirk she'd crept close to the shore
Rescued six hundred men and some thirty more
At Dunkirk there was danger
From above, port and starboard
Called the Lady Cable
She'd sailed from Torquay's harbour
Peace for our time Chamberlain had said
But from Dunkirk good lord how we had fled
Hitler's missed the bus Chamberlain had said
But at Dunkirk you know we left so many dead
