The Lifeboat Mona Lyrics – Luke Kelly
Singer: Luke Kelly
Title: The Lifeboat Mona
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, Mona was her name
The wind it blows and the sea rose up
Beats the land with mighty waves
At St. Andrew’s Bay the lightship fought
The sea until her moorings gave
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
Remеmber the gallant men who drownеd
On the lifeboat, Mona was her name
The captain signalled to the shore
‘We must have help or we’ll go down’
From Broughty Ferry at two a.m
They sent the lifeboat Mona
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, Mona was her name
Eight men formed that gallant crew
They set their boat against the main
The wind’s so hard and the sea’s so rough
We’ll never see land or home again
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, Mona was her name
Three hours went by and the Mona called
The winds blow hard and the seas run high
In the morning on Carnusty Beach
The Mona and her crew did lie
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, Mona was her name
Five lay drowned in the cabin there
Two were washed up on the shore
Eight men died when the boat capsized
And the eighth is lost forever more
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, Mona was her name
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
The men who leave the land behind
And the men who never see land again
Remember December fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
The men who leave the land behind
And the men who never see land again
