44 in bomber county
Young men waiting for the night,
In the hedgerow's birds are singing,
Calling in the falling light,
And the Captain says, tonight ther'll be a Bombers Moon,
We'll be there and back underneath a Bombers Moon,
A thousand Bombers over the Northern Sea,
Heading out, out, for Germany,
Chalkie White stands at the dart board,
Curley Thompsom writes to his wife,
Nobby Clarke and Jumbo Johnson,
Playing cards and smoking pipes,
And over the hangers rises a Bombers Moon,
Full and clear rising as the engines croon,
The planes they taxi out on to runway five,
And sail off out into the silvery night,
Sandy Campbell checks his oil gauge,
The Belgum coast is coming soon,
Curley Thompson lifts his sextant,
Lines up on the Bombers Moon,
The waves are shining there,
Below the Bombers Moon,
Lancaster's flying high, above the Bombers Moon,
Coming in along the Belgen coast,
A thosand silver shrouded ghosts,
Flack flies up around the city,
Jumbo Johnson banks his plane,
Goes in low and drops his payload,
Turns to join the pack again,
People are dieing there below the Bombers Moon,
The Cities a raging Hell below the Bombers Moon,
The planes head out towards the Northern Sea,
Young men coming home from victory,
Over Belgum came the fighters,
Flying high against the night,
Curley Thompson saw them coming,
Closing in before he died,
Young men shot them down below the Bombers Moon,
Shot them down in flames below the Bombers Moon,
Young men sending young men to their graves,
Saw them down into the North Sea waves,
83 in Bomber County,
Mrs White dusts the picture, and she cries,
Chalky White in uniform, looking as he did the day he died,
For God's sake no more Bombers Moon's
No more young men going out to die too soon,
Old men sending young men out too die,
Young men dieing for a politicians lies,
For God's sake no more Bombers Moon's,
No more young men going out to die too soon,
Old men sending young men out too kill,
If we don't stop them then they never will,
No more, No more Bombers Moon's
No more, No more Bombers Moon's
No more, No more Bombers Moon's
No more, No more Bombers Moon, s
No more, No more Bombers Moon's
