Mystery of the Gaul versuri

Versuri Jan and Paul Ramsey – Mystery of the Gaul lyrics

In the early light of a January morning
Nineteen hundred and seventy-four
The trawler Gaul left the dockside of Hull
For to seek a fortune in a northern shoal

We’re seeking the Grimsby lads manning the Gaul
Seeking the trawler that left Humber’s shore
Seeking the captain and brave crew on board
Along the coast of Norway

The skipper aboard knew the line he had cast
More than a thousand miles the path
A crew of 36 men set the task
Just wanting to get the job done

We’re seeking the Grimsby lads manning the Gaul
Seeking the trawler that left Humber’s shore
Seeking the captain and brave crew on board
Along the coast of Norway

On the 8th of February with sea state severe
Waves ten yards high were said to be near
The captain had said she was set for the storm
No Mayday came forth from the Gaul

Many’s the claim of the vessel’s demise
Sunk by a sub as she was a spy
For the families the truth is a long time denied
The mystery has yet to be broken

We’re seeking the Grimsby lads manning the Gaul
Seeking the trawler that left Humber’s shore
Seeking the captain and brave crew on board
Along the coast of Norway
The mystery has yet to be broken
