The Wreck Of The Beautiful |
| When the beautiful set sail back in 1970 |
| She was state of the art, the flagship of our navy |
| But the salt sea took its toll and the rust began to show |
| And with a heavy heart we took her to the breaker’s yard |
| I thought I heard her call, maybe I heard nothing at all |
| I thought I heard her call from the wreck of the beautiful |
| But like the fattened cow can smell the butcher’s knife |
| She knew where she was bound, a sad end to a proud life |
| That’s when I heard her cry and the waves rose five miles high |
| And the men who did not drown watched as the beautiful went down |
| I thought I heard her call, maybe I heard nothing at all |
| I thought I heard her call from the wreck of the beautiful |
