Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Launched in thirteen, a queen of the seas
Warspite her name, a sight to appease
Steel grey her skin, guns bold and bright
Ready to fight for king and for right
[Chorus]
From Jutland's cold waters to Narvik's fierce fight
The Grand Old Lady stood strong in the light
Through bomb and through shell, she never did yield
Warspite, the warship, on history's field
[Verse 2]
Mediterranean sun, on her deck did it gleam
North African shores, echoed with her steam
Normandy beaches, she pounded the wall
For freedom's sweet call, she gave her all
[Chorus]
From Jutland's cold waters to Narvik's fierce fight
The Grand Old Lady stood strong in the light
Through bomb and through shell, she never did yield
Warspite, the warship, on history's field
[Bridge]
Years took their toll, her battles were done
The Grand Old Lady, her race was outrun
To the scrapyard she went, a fate bittersweet
But legends don't die, in memories they meet
[Outro]
So raise your glass high, to the ship that's no more
Warspite, the warrior, forever we adore
Her spirit still sails, on the ocean's blue sway
The Grand Old Lady, forever will stay
[Bridge]
Years took their toll, her battles were done
The Grand Old Lady, her race was outrun
To the scrapyard she went, a fate bittersweet
But legends don't die, in memories they meet
[Chorus]
From Jutland's cold waters to Narvik's fierce fight
The Grand Old Lady stood strong in the light
Through bomb and through shell, she never did yield
Warspite, the warship, on history's field
[Outro]
So raise your glass high, to the ship that's no more
Warspite, the warrior, forever we adore
Her spirit still sails, on the ocean's blue sway
The Grand Old Lady, forever will stay
