Captain Gibson hear our plea. Six mens lives are in peril at sea. Send the boats oh send the boats. The Whitby visitor is no more.
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall. Hooves a pounding cler and haul.
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul. Hooves a pounding, clear and haul.
Coxswain shouted can't you see
We shall never clear that sea
Boats not for sailing, not today
But six men's lives we shall yet save
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall. Hooves a pounding cler and haul.
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul. Hooves a pounding, clear and haul.
Grab the shovels, seas of snow
Through blizzard drift we shall go
O'er the moors lads o'er the moors
At Robin Hood's Bay we'll launch there
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall. Hooves a pounding cler and haul.
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul. Hooves a pounding, clear and haul.
Harness fastened leathers tight
Ne'er anyone had seen such sight
Steady up boys steady up
Mighty beasts haul the load
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall Hooves a pounding cler and haul
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul Hooves a pounding, clear and haul
Hundreds fight the snow that day
More horses harnessed on the way
Twixt cosy homes with fires aglow
But pounding seas still lay ahead
Pull the oars lads seven feet tall, waves a pounding heave and haul
Heave and haul lads heave and haul, waves a pounding heave and haul
Exhausted men can barely stand
But the Robert Whitworth will be manned
Oars all smashed and steering broke
With salty tears they head for shore
Pull the oars lads seven feet tall, waves a pounding heave and haul
Heave and haul lads heave and haul, waves a pounding heave and haul
We'll try again we shall not fail
Eighteen men shall fight the gale
Hours passed men hauled aboard
White horses crashing to the bay
Pull the oars lads seven feet tall, waves a pounding heave and haul
Heave and haul lads heave and haul, waves a pounding heave and haul
Such a journey ne'er forget
Inner strength will save men yet
Fight nature's forces for precious life
Lifeboat men to you our praise
Pull the oars lads seven feet tall, waves a pounding heave and haul
Heave and haul lads heave and haul, waves a pounding heave and haul
Heave and haul lads heave and haul, waves a pounding heave and haul
