Scott of The Mumbles

Scott of The Mumbles

Scott was a man of dedication

Who knew that lifeboats sank and drowned the crew

He turned up to help at Mumbles Station

And - over years - his dedication grew

When the maroon went off

Scott was there

Ready to go

Ready to go

Scott was the Coxswain of the lifeboat

Aged 26 and certain what to do

A man made for saving from a lifeboat

A man made to lead the finest crew

When the maroon went off

Scott was there

Ready to go

Ready to go

Scott was a brave man in the channel

Saving ten from Kilo - and a child

To earn his first - and second - Silver Medal

Bronze for Steepholm when the seas were wild

When the maroon went off

Scott was there

Ready to go

Ready to go

Scott served thirty-three years as the Coxswain

For all the hours and days in every year

Through his centre - this man was a seaman

Brave - and still determined through his fear

When the maroon went off

Scott was there

Ready to go

Ready to go
