A song about a naval battle in World War One

lyrics

They departed from the Firth of Forth
While the German fleet sailed North
Sailing towards that fateful day
A naval battle at the end of May

The Germans had hoped to lure and trap
A portion of the British fleet
But their signals were decrypted
And Jellicoe's larger fleet
Admiral Scheer would meet

They departed from Scapa Flow
To the south they would go
Sailing towards that fateful day
A naval battle at the end of May

The Germans had hoped to lure and trap
A portion of the British fleet
But their signals were decrypted
And Jellicoe's larger fleet
Admiral Scheer would meet

In the run to the south
On the British ships was wrought
The German superb gunnery
As the battle cruisers fought

They departed from the Firth of Forth
While the German fleet sailed North
Sailing towards that fateful day
A naval battle at the end of May

The Germans had hoped to lure and trap
A portion of the British fleet
But their signals were decrypted
And Jellicoe's larger fleet
Admiral Scheer would meet
