The Lifeboat Mona lyrics

Remember December ‘59
The howling wind and driving rain.
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, “Mona” was her name.

The wind did blow and the sea rose up
Beat the land with mighty waves.
At Saint Andrew's Bay the light ship fought
The sea until her moorings gave.

Remember December ‘59
The howling wind and driving rain.
Remember the gallant men who drowned
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 out.

Remember December ‘59
The howling wind and 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 so hard and the sea so rough
We'll never see land or home again

Remember December ‘59
The howling wind and driving rain.
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the lifeboat, “Mona” was her name.

Three hours went by and the Mona called
The wind blows hard and the sea runs high
In the morning on Carnoustie Beach
The Mona and her crew did lie.

Remember December ‘59
The howling wind and 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 ‘59
The howling wind and 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 ’59
The howling wind and the driving rain.
The men who leave the land behind
And the men who never see land again.
