Johnny HortonSink the BismarkIn May of nineteen forty one the war had just begunThe Germans had the biggest ships that had the biggest gunsThe Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seasOn her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees.Out of the cold and fog-gy night came the British ship The HoodAnd ever' British seaman he knew and understoodLetras de cancionesThey had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the seasStop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees.CHORUS #1We'll find that German battleship that's mak'in' such a fussWe got-ta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on usHit the deck arunnin' boys and spin those guns aroundWhen we find the Bismarck we gotta cut 'er down.The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal dayThe Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles awayWe gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle soundBut when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down.For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trailChurch-hill told people put ever' ship asail'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta beWe gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea.CHORUS #1The fog was gone the seventh day an' they saw the mornin' sunTen hours away from homeland the Bismarck made it's runThe Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows aroundWe found that German Battle-ship and we gonna cut 'er down.The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fastThe first shell hit the Bismarck they knew she couldn't lastThat mighty German battleship is just a memorySink the Bismarck was the battle cry that shook the seven seas.CHORUS #2We found that German battleship for makin' such a fussWe had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on usWe hit the deck arunnin' and we spun those guns aroundYea! we found that mighty Bis-marck and we had to cut 'er down.Yea! we found that mighty Bis-marck and then we cut 'er down.
