Ode to the 6th MCMS(sung to the tune of the "Wild Rover") |
We’ve
been on the Kirkliston for many a year
Sing we go minehuntingOur base it is Hong Kong but not that you’d know If sea time is called for the Kirk has to go Don’t think that we drip, Sir, for we are a pawn While the Squadron’s still sleeping we sail out at dawn
Sing we go minehuntingOne day when on passage the horizon we scan And find that alone we sail to Japan But the rest of the Fleet will be here before long Then we get a signal they’re not leaving Hong Kong
Sing we go minehuntingWhen at sea we are needed as a Squadron we work That’s the Bozzy the Sherry the Hubby the Kirk We have one more ship that we dare not name As doing no sea time is its claim to fame
Sing we go minehuntingLet no more be said for we hold you no Grudge For we know that one day from the Jetty you’ll Budge But believe us don’t worry we’ll do your job too On our shoulders you’re heavy but that’s nothing new
Sing we go minehuntingWe’ve been on the Kirkliston for many a year We’ve run out of Water but never of Beer You can say what you want about Ships of the Fleet But the good Ship Kirkliston you never will beat. HMS Kirkliston
