[Verse] Down in the harbor Where the fog horns blow We set sail with fire Through the night’s dark glow With the USS Johnston Oh what stories she knows In the ranked battles' fury Where the brave sailors go [Chorus] Oh The cannonballs thunder And the torpedoes rain In a sea full of legends Where only the bold remain With a heart full of valor We won't back down in vain On the USS Johnston Glory we aim to gain [Verse] Ironclad warriors With steel in their eyes Maneuver the tides 'neath the stormy skies With the cap’ns in the towers Plotting their tries From the radar's quick beep to the sudden surprise [Chorus] Oh The cannonballs thunder And the torpedoes rain In a sea full of legends Where only the bold remain With a heart full of valor We won't back down in vain On the USS Johnston Glory we aim to gain [Bridge] Through the mines and the depth charges We navigate the sea With the fo’c’sle a’bristlin’ and the deck crew heartily And the wind in our rigging sends a wild Ghostly plea Rank by rank Hand in hand Claiming our victory [Chorus] Oh The cannonballs thunder And the torpedoes rain In a sea full of legends Where only the bold remain With a heart full of valor We won't back down in vain On the USS Johnston Glory we aim to gain
