Chorus: Remember December ot fifty-nine The howling wind and driving rain Remember the gallant men who drowned On the tifeboat, Mona was her name The wind did blow and me sea rose up Beat the land with mighty waves At Saint Andrew's Bay the Iight ship fought The sea until her moorings gave Chorus The captain signalled to the shore "We must have help or we'll go down " From Broughty Ferry at two a.m. They sent the Iifeboat Mona Chorus Eight men formed that gallant crew They set their boat against the main The wind's so hard and the sea's so rough We'll never see land or home again Chorus Three hours went by and the Mona called The wind blows hard and the sea runs high In the morning on Carnusty Beach The Mona and her crew did lie Chorus Five lay drowned in me Chalon there Two were washed up on the shore Eight men died when lhe boat capsized And the eighth is Iost forever more Remember December ot fifty-nine The howling wind and driving rain The men who leave the land behind And the men who never see land again Remember December ot fifty-nine The howling wind and the driving rain The men who leave the land behind And the men who never see land again
