[Verse] Young Jim Liddle from the Northeast shore Barely a man, now facing war With a heavy heart and a brave face He leaves behind his hometown place [Chorus] Sailing off to distant seas Jim Liddle fights for you and me His courage strong, his spirit free For king and country, across the sea [Verse 2] The shipyard's son with calloused hands Now grips a rifle in foreign lands The North Sea's chill can't compare To the fear that grips him over there (Repeat Chorus) From tesside boy to Navy man Jim sails beyond the horizon's span His family prays he'll make it through This young hero in navy blue (Repeat Chorus)
