Fighting Trains of Crimea (10.5)
(intro, spoken word) Now listen here ya scallywags! Tis a tale of a sailing fightin ships like no other! For these were smoke belching land ships. And upon the high Crimean iron seas they rode! And their story well deserves to be told! Built in haste, in naval port, armed with ships cannon, crewed by sailors none where quite the same! Upon iron wheels did these odd sisters screech Yet this odd bunch deserved their fame all the same! (Chorus) Wowow, zhelenzyakov! crewed by Black Sea salts was her sisters and she Wowow, she rode iron rails of Crimean sea! crewed by Black Sea salts was she Six months, day and night from cave and tunnel she sallied, from where the Nazis could not see! Crew of sailing Men young and old, No different from you or me! (Verse 1) Crewed by sea salt sailors of black sea From Sevestapol In Soviet Russia far north In Ninety Fourth One, never after was there a train quite like her! Armed, armoured and belching fearsome fire was she! Rather like me ma, now I think about it! (Har Har Har!) An just like me ma, she would charge the invaders a handsome fee! An just like me ma, she wouldn't let them go easy! An just like me ma, she was sneaky! And just like me ma, she made piracy look easy peasy! (Verse 2) Six months they tried to find her! Six months The Luftwaffe couldn't see her! Six months their bombs couldn't get near her! Six months The Luftwaffe couldn't get her! Six months their attacks cost them dear! Six months, three of their bombers were lost to her! (Chorus) Wowow, zhelenzyakov! crewed by Black Sea salts was she Her very name made those nasty German land lubbers shudder! Wowow, she rode iron rails of Crimean sea! crewed by Black Sea salts was she 6 months, day and night from cave and tunnel she sallied, from where the Nazis could not see! Crew of sailing Men young and old, No different from you or me! (Bridge) Now listen here ya scallywags! Tis a tale of a sailing fightin ships like no other! For these were smoke belching land ships. And upon the high Crimean iron seas they rode! And their story well deserves to be told! Built in haste, in naval port, armed with ships cannon, crewed by sailors none where quite the same! Upon iron wheels did these odd sisters screech Yet this odd bunch deserved their fame all the same! (Verse 3) Six months they tried to find her! Six months the invaders cursed her! Six months thundering guns flashes, the only trace of her! Six months she left a trail of destruction behind her! Six months she cost the attackers dear! Six months she filled their black hearts with fear! (Verse 4) Six months she tormented the invader! Six months day and night, night and day Six months she gave them cause to curse her! Six months their bombs couldn't get near her! Six months, day and night from cave and tunnel she sallied Six months, day and night she made them fear her! (Verse 5, Ending Chorus) Wowow, zhelenzyakov! crewed by Black Sea salts was she Her very name made those nasty German land lubbers shudder! Wowow, she rode iron rails of Crimean sea! crewed by Black Sea salts was she 6 months, day and night from cave and tunnel she sallied, from where the Nazis could not see!
