about

A song about a sailor at the battle of Jutland

lyrics

Banns of marriage witnessed
Dated in May
On three Sundays
Before he sailed away
But for Christopher there would be no wedding day

At the station in Exeter
He said farewell
It was the last time she saw him
Such a sad tale to tell

Shells from the Von Der Tann
Screaming across the sea
Death and destruction
Created so terribly
And for Olive Reynolds bad news she would receive

At the station in Exeter
He said farewell
It was the last time she saw him
Such a sad tale to tell

She never forgot him
And her memories live on
Told to Stephanie
Now written in this song
The photographs and postcards treasured for so long
