Robert Whitworth Lyrics by Kimber’s Men

See You When the Sun Goes Down

2002

[Verse 1]
Captain Gibson hear our plea
Six men's lives are in peril at sea
Send the boats oh, send the boats
The Whitby Visitor is no more
[Chorus]
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall
Hooves a'pounding, clear and haul
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul
Hooves a'pounding, clear and haul
[Verse 2]
Coxswain shouted, "Can't you see
We could never clear that sea
Boats not for sailing, not today."
But six men's lives we shall yet save
[Chorus]
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall
Hooves a'pounding, clear and haul
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul
Hoovеs a'pounding, clear and haul
[Verse 3]
Grab the shovels, sеas of snow
Through blizzards drift we shall go
O'er the moors boys, o'er the moors
At Robin Hood's Bay we'll launch there
[Chorus]
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall
Hooves a'pounding, clear and haul
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul
Hooves a'pounding, clear and haul
[Verse 4]
Harness fastened leathers tight
Ne'er anyone had seen such sight
Steady up boys, steady up
Mighty beasts haul the load
[Chorus]
Shovel the snow lads, seven feet tall
Hooves a'pounding, clear and haul
Clear and haul lads, clear and haul
Hooves a'pounding, clear and haul
[Verse 5]
Hundreds fight the snow that day
More horses harnessed on the way
Twixt cozy homes with fires that glow
But pounding seas still lay ahead
[Chorus]
Pull the oars lads, seven feet tall
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
Heave and haul lads, heave and haul
Waves a'pounding, clear and haul
[Verse 6]
Exhausted men can barley stand
But the Robert Whitworth will be manned
Oars all smashed and steering broke
With salty tears they head for shore
[Chorus]
Pull the oars lads, seven feet tall
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
Heave and haul boys, heave and haul
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
[Verse 7]
We'll try again we shall not fail
Eighteen men shall fight the gale
Hours passed men hauled aboard
White horses crashing to the bay
[Chorus]
Pull the oars lads, seven feet tall
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
Heave and haul lads, heave and haul
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
[Verse 8]
Such a journey ne'er forget
Inner strength will save men yet
Fight nature's forces for precious life
Lifeboat men to you I praise
[Chorus]
Pull the oars lads, seven feet tall
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
Heave and haul lads, heave and haul
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
Heave and haul lads, heave and haul
Waves a'pounding, heave and haul
