The Man from Llanfairynghornwy

The Man from Llanfairynghornwy

Active was a smack out from Belfast
Driven into Cemaes Bay
Grounded drowning in the tumbling sea
Seen by The Man
        Seen by The Man
                Seen by The Man
                        From Llanfairynghornwy

The raging tide prevented launching
Of any boat in Cemaes Bay
One horse was forced into the water
By the good man
        By the good man
                By the good man
                        From Llanfairynghornwy

A grapnel was thrown into bowsprit shrouds
Of the smack in Cemaes Bay
Hauling a lifeboat out
Pulling a lifeboat to the Active
Bringing the help
        Bringing the help
                Bringing the help
                        From Llanfairynghornwy

The crew of five could not stand to leave
Exhausted in Cemaes Bay
So they were helped and gently lifted
Saved by the man
        Saved by the man
                Saved by the man
                        From Llanfairynghornwy

2002 CPR
