The ^Cfishing boats rolled ^Emout across the ^Fdark green channel ^Gwater As they ^Cgather speed for ^EmFlanders, they ^Fcut their nets a^Gway It's not ^Cherring they'll be ^Empulling from the ^Fwaters on this ^Gmorning But they'll ^Creap a bitter ^Emharvest from the ^Ffires of Ca^Clais

^CTwenty leagues from ^EmFrance I saw the ^Famber soaked ho^Grizon In our ^Clee the cliffs of ^EmDover fall be^Fneath the channel ^Gwaves Where ^Cwaters used to ^Emsing a song to ^Fsoothe the hearts of ^Gfishers Now we ^Chear the rolling ^Emthunder from the ^Ffires of Ca^Clais

As we ^Cpull in tight to ^Emshore, this ar^Fmada bent on ^Grescue I could ^Ccurse the men be^Emhind the desks who ^Fsell our lives this ^Gway I never ^Csigned aboard to ^Emsave them from this ^Fbloody lack of ^Gplanning That ^Cstrands these fine young ^Emmen beneath the ^Ffires of Ca^Clais

On the ^Cbeach allied con^Emfusion, will they ^Fstand or are they ^Grunning If it's ^Crun, where will they ^Emgo to between the ^Fsea and the m?^G?lée On the ^Cflanks the troops ad^Emvancing and with ^Fheavy guns they're ^Gfiring And not a ^Cmother's son could ^Emsave them from the ^Ffires of Ca^Clais

In scattered ^Cgroups upon the ^Emshore, some look to^Fwards a safer ^Gharbour Some ^Cfix their eyes u^Empon the flames that ^Fturn night to ^Gday Some yet ^Cstanding bold and ^Emready to stoutly ^Fguard the rear from ^GJerry They'll ^Cneed no flares to ^Emsee him 'neath the ^Ffires of Ca^Clais

I've ^Cfished these channel ^Emwaters since I was ^Fman enough to ^Gface them For the ^Cherring and the ^Emflounder I have ^Foften hauled a^Gway But a ^Ccatch like this I've ^Emnever had in ^Fforty years of ^Gsailing Saving ^CTommies as they ^Emflounder 'neath the ^Ffires of Ca^Clais
