Lyrics The Lifeboat Mona - Luke Kelly
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
wind
and
the
driving
rain
Remember
the
gallant
men
who
drowned
On
the
lifeboat,
Mona
was
her
name
The
wind
did
blow
and
the
sea
rose
up
Beat
the
land
with
mighty
waves
At
Saint
Andrew′s
Bay,
the
light
ship
Fought
the
sea
until
her
moorings
gave
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
winds
and
driving
rain
Remember
the
gallant
men
who
drowned
On
the
lifeboat,
Mona
was
her
name
The
captain
signaled
to
the
shore
"We
must
have
help
or
we'll
go
down"
From
Broughty
Ferry
at
2 A.M.
They
sent
the
lifeboat
Mona
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
winds
and
the
driving
rain
Remember
the
gallant
men
who
drowned
On
the
lifeboat,
Mona
was
her
name
Eight
men
formed
that
gallant
crew
They
set
their
boat
against
the
main
The
wind′s
so
hard
and
the
sea's
so
rough
We'll
never
see
land
or
home
again
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
winds
and
the
driving
rain
Remember
the
gallant
men
who
drowned
On
the
lifeboat,
Mona
was
her
name
Three
hours
went
by
and
the
Mona
called
The
wind
blows
hard
and
the
sea
runs
high
In
the
morning
on
Carnusty
Beach
The
Mona
and
her
crew
did
lie
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
wind
and
driving
rain
Remember
the
gallant
men
who
drowned
On
the
lifeboat,
Mona
was
her
name
Five
lay
drowned
in
the
Chalon
there
Two
were
washed
up
on
the
shore
Eight
men
died
when
the
boat
capsized
And
the
eighth
is
lost
forever
more
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
winds
and
driving
rain
Remember
the
gallant
men
who
drowned
On
the
lifeboat,
Mona
was
her
name
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
wind
and
the
driving
rain
The
men
who
leave
the
land
behind
And
the
men
who
never
see
land
again
Remember
December
fifty-nine
The
howling
wind
and
the
driving
rain
The
men
who
leave
the
land
behind
And
the
men
who
never
see
land
again
