(Allen/Nielsen/Donald) Oh, the Thresher, the finest atomic ship that ever dived for the sea. Each man on board was a volunteer. Was there 'cause he chose there to be. [Chorus:] Ev'ry man jack on board was a hero. Ev'ry man jack on board there was brave. Ev'ry man jack on board was a hero. Each man risked a watery grave. Oh, their wives and their sweethearts came down to port their last fond good-byes there to say. Each tried her best to be tearless and brave. They promised to meet there some day. [Chorus] Then "Dive," said the Captain and we held our breath. A sound like she'd broken in two. That was the last we ever heard of her. Last word we had of her crew. [Chorus] Oh, the Thresher, yes, now her reactor is still but very good company she keeps. Men from the Lexington, Hornet, and the Wasp are down there with her in the deep. [Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
