PULL BOYS! PULL!

Have you ever seen the North Sea in a January gale?
The waves as high as houses, the driving rain and hail
The dark godless wilderness of nature unrestrained
The cold wind blowing brutal like a glass smashed in your face

On such a stormy night back in nineteen seventeen
A steamer called the Pyrin was in peril on the sea
Heavy winter seas had her crew sorely pressed
Just off the coast at Cromer she signalled her distress

Pull Boys! Pull! Hear the coxswain call
Call this a storm lads? It's just a Norfolk squall!
Pull Boys! Pull! We always make it through
This is the lifeboat Louisa Heartwell and we are the Cromer Crew

Out into the tempest the lifeboat she was launched
Open to the elements two sails and fourteen oars
Two hours hard rowing to where the wreck lay
Eighteen men rescued to live another day

Pull Boys! Pull! Hear the coxswain call
Call this a storm lads? It's just a Norfolk squall!
Pull Boys! Pull! We always make it through
This is the lifeboat Louisa Heartwell and we are the Cromer Crew

Safely back on dry land the tired lifeboat crew
Heard Henry Blogg their coxswain say "there's further work to do
There's another ship out there and she looks like going down
There's only us can help her, we' have to turn around"

Pull Boys! Pull! Hear the coxswain call
Call this a storm lads? It's just a Norfolk squall!
Pull Boys! Pull! We always make it through
This is the lifeboat Louisa Heartwell and we are the Cromer Crew

The swedish ship Fernebo had hit a mine and split in two
And only the Cromer lifeboatmen could save her stricken crew
Again they launched their lifeboat with the whole town looking on
And many came to help but the storm it proved too strong

A third time they tried to launch her but the outcome was the same
Eight oars all smashed up but they had to try again
On the fourth time of trying at last they got away
The lifeboat Louisa Heartwell once more off to save the day

It weren't no church picnic and it weren't no village fete
But they made it to the shipwreck before it was too late
They saved those poor sailors and brought them home again
Henry Blogg the Louisa Heartwell and the Cromer lifeboatmen

Pull Boys! Pull! Hear the coxswain call
Call this a storm lads? It's just a Norfolk squall!
Pull Boys! Pull! We always make it through
This is the lifeboat Louisa Heartwell and we are the Cromer Crew

Some will sing of heroes who live by the sword
But the best and bravest never fight and make war
Much greater the hero as all good folk well know
Who saves the life of a stranger at the risk of their own
