Row Grace Row (free) 02:49
lyrics

Down near Bambough a long time ago Lived a maid that we all know She looked out the window and what did she see? A lot of wet people all cold in the sea She turned to her father and what did she say? Father get the boat- get it now today! Row row row Grace row row row Row row row Grace you can row They got in the boat and away they set Grace and her father got soaking wet They rowed across the sea as quick as they could As the sea was getting up and it didn't look good They got to the Wreck and what did they see? A lot of cold people all wet as could be! Row row row Grace row row row Row row row Grace you can row Grace and her father got them in the boat But it was overloaded and it wouldn't float So they only took a few and said ''we'll be back'' And set out for the light house away from the wreck Then the boat went back and saved many more And Grace became a hero for ever more! Row row row Grace row row row Row row row Grace you can row

There's a ship And it's far too close There's a ship and it's getting close There's a ship and it's going to ground On the Harker rock Oh what can we do? Oh what can we do? I don't know - What can we do? There's just me and you could row I don't know if you should go?~ I know that I am a lass Oh where's my brother tonight? He's not here I don't think that we should go. Don't think that we should,~ Don't think that we should....

lyrics

21 feet of Oak between me and the sea I looked out the window, and what did I see? There were people over there There were people in despair They were shouting And they were shouting for me~ 21 feet of Oak between me and the sea 21 feet of Oak between me and the deep north sea Father, Father come and see, Father people are shouting for me Father Father, lets get there now Lets get across there now~ I don't care that the waves are getting high I don't care that we'll surely die I don't care what you say, lets get there now~ Lets get there now~ 21 feet of Oak between me and the sea 21 feet of Oak between me and the deep north sea Father and I, we sailed away Father and I, on a stormy day Father and I in the boat on the sea Just father and me~ Waves got high, they reached the sky We rowed as we could as fast as we can I was scared and father too The people were shouting, what could we do? 21 feet of Oak between me and the sea 21 feet of Oak between me and the deep north sea We ran aground they pulled us up, Five we'll take no more this trip Five at once and we'll slip away But we'll return right a way ~ 21 feet of Oak between me and the sea 21 feet of Oak between me and the deep north sea 21 feet of Oak between me and the sea

Papers say I was a hero (free) 01:28
lyrics

The papers say I was a hero I'd risked my life for them They said I should be famous And I should meet the Queen Oh no! – Not the Queen! I'm a plain girl common ways... I couldn't go to London – meet the Queen Couldn't meet the Queen Oh they wouldn't let me be, They wouldn't let me be I wanted peace, I wanted peace and quiet I couldn't take the strain, All the people round me asking questions ''Who was I?'' '' What did I do?'' I didn't know I was in the news.. What did I say? I can't tell any more.... I can't tell any more....
