Hear Ye
By Ron Bennett
USS Hailey (DD-556)
To Tin Can Sailors across the land
Who sailed our ships, crew on hand
To battles wide, we sailed afar
Some of us, still bear a scar
But all of us, who sailed our ships
To great large ports, and tiny slips
Weather changes gave us rock and roll
But out great slim ladies were in control
Other times we got pushed around and listed
30 degrees
With decks awash, those topside had wet
dungarees
Our armor plating was as thin as a tin can
We enjoyed the sunshine and got a good tan
And that my mates, is what got us fame
Tin Can Sailors, that's our name
