In the Ebyear of '39 assembled Fmhere the volunteers
In the Dbdays when the Ablands were Ebfew
Here the Fm7ship sailed out into the Dbblue and sunny morn
The Ebsus4sweetest Ebsight ever Abseen
And the Eb7night followed day, and the Edimstory tellers say
That the Fmscore brave souls insBmide
For Abmany a lonely day sailed Ebacross the milky seas
DbNe'er looked Fmback, Dbnever Ebfeared, Dbnever AbcriedEb
Don't you Abhear my call though you're Dbmany years Abaway
Don't you Abhear me calling Ebyou
Write your Abletters C7in the Fmsand
AbFor the Dbday I Abtake your Bmhand
In the Abland that our Ebgrandchildren Abknew

In the Ebyear of '39 came a Fmship in from the blue
The voluntDbeers came Abhome that Ebday
And they Fm7bring good news of a Dbworld so newly born
Though their Ebsus4hearts so Ebheavily Abweigh
For the Eb7earth is old and grey, little Edimdarling, we'll away
But my Fmlove this cannot Bmbe
For so Abmany years have gone though I'm Ebolder but a year
Your Dbmother's Fmeyes Dbfrom your Ebeyes Dbcry to AbmeEb
Don't you Abhear my call though you're Dbmany years Abaway
Don't you Abhear me calling Ebyou
Write your Abletters C7in the Fmsand
AbFor the Dbday I Abtake your Bmhand
In the Abland that our Ebgrandchildren AbknewEb
Don't you Abhear my call though you're Dbmany years Abaway
Don't you Abhear me calling Ebyou
All your Abletters C7in the Fmsand
AbCannot Dbheal me Ablike your Bmhand
For my Fm7life, still Eb7ahead, pity Abme
