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
