And it's three score and ten
Boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough
Many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers
Our fishing smacks, as well
They long defied that bitter night
And battled with the swell
Methinks I see a host of craft
Spreading their sails alee
Down the Humber they do glide
All bound for the Northern Sea
Me thinks I see on each small craft
A crew with hearts so brave
Going out to earn their daily bread
Upon the restless wave
And it's three score and ten
Boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough
Many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers
Our fishing smacks, as well
They long defied that bitter night
And battled with the swell.
October's night brought such a sight
Twas never seen before
There were mast and yards and broken spars
A washing on the shore
There were many a heart in sorrow
Many a heart so brave
There were many a fine and hearty lad
That met a watery grave.
And it's three score and ten
Boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough
Many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers
Our fishing smacks, as well
They long defied that bitter night
And battled with the swell.

I was lucky to grow up in the showband era. Johnny is one of the greatest ever.

Johnny McEvoy never mimed a song in his life I would say. A true legend.

@beehive41 "Hull Times, 2nd of March, 1889. As day after day passes and no tidings arrive of the missing Grimsby smacks, it is beginning to be realized that the gale of the 9th will prove one of the most disastrous to the Grimsby fishing trade on record. All together nearly a dozen fishing vessels carrying between 60 and 70 hands are missing." There doesn't seem to be a book about the disaster, though it might be worth getting in contact wit Grimsby Library.

It should be ‘From Yarmouth up to Scarborough.’ Obviously geography wasn’t the song writers strong point.

Why is it called three score and 10 when it's about many 100s?
@hunnybunnysdaddy
@hunnybunnysdaddy 4 года назад
The 3 score and 10 refers to those lost from Grimsby

A very fine song written by a local chap here in Grimsby. Ya voice is fine, though not keen on ya backing music....makes it really cheesy and takes away the feel. Yes I come from a fishing family here in Grimsby. I'd like to hear ya sing without the cheesy backing tape. Fancy my mandolin onboard Cap'n?
