Текст песни The Hunley (Derek Warfield) с переводом

Here’s to you the Hunley, and all of your brave crew.

You sailed out the outer isle, to see what you can do.

You sailed into Charleston Bay, beneathe the bonnie blue.

For to break the Union blockade and to sink the Yankee crew.

Come all ye bold geographers and all ye naval men,

And I’ll tell you a true story of brave Confederates, when

Was in the year of '64, beneath the waves of blue,

A tube of iron sailed below to sink a yankee crew.

Here’s to you the Hunley, and all of your brave crew.

You sailed out the outer isle, to see what you can do.

You sailed into Charleston Bay, beneathe the bonnie blue.

For to break the Union blockade and to sink the Yankee crew.

The Housatonic lay waitin' two hundred feet of sail,

Nine cannon at the ready, all rifles set to go,

When in the dark of night, beneath the sea below,

Eight hearts of gray where on the way to put that sloop below.

Here’s to you the Hunley, and all of your brave crew.

You sailed out the outer isle, to see what you can do.

You sailed into Charleston Bay, beneathe the bonnie blue.

For to break the Union blockade and to sink the Yankee crew.

The Federals saw her comin', but it was too late to act,

The Hunley had stopped to prey and made a beaten track,

Before she left, she pulled the cord and set the night aglow,

But all the Feds could here were the cheers from deep below.

Here’s to you the Hunley, and all of your brave crew.

You sailed out the outer isle, to see what you can do.

You sailed into Charleston Bay, beneathe the bonnie blue.

For to break the Union blockade and to sink the Yankee crew.

The doodles were a ragin', to see their ship aglow,

And alas but for all reason we will never know,

The Hunley went a leakin' deep down below,

And never would she rise again to put on such a show.

Here’s to you the Hunley, and all of your brave crew.

You sailed out the outer isle, to see what you can do.

You sailed into Charleston Bay, beneathe the bonnie blue.

For to break the Union blockade and to sink the Yankee crew.

Here’s to you the Hunley, and all of your brave crew.

You sailed out the outer isle, to see what you can do.

You sailed into Charleston Bay, beneathe the bonnie blue.

For to break the Union blockade and to sink the Yankee crew.
