Thunder In The Distance

Lyrics

Thunder In The Distance There's thunder in the distance Harry Trouble's going to find us all Looks like we'll have to face it Billy With courage, fortitude and gall We stood up to the schoolyard bullies Three of us there side by side Fought together, took the punches Not one thought to run and hide And we're all together now Inseparable we three We'll give the Hun a bloody nose Just you wait and see And we're all together now Just how it should be And we'll be home by Christmas Martha Harry, Billy Boy and Me We weren't half bad at playing football Till Harry punched the referee And as he left the field that morning So we followed, Bill and Me Now Harry's uncle worked the trawlers Got us all a job for sure Rolling, retching on the ocean Thank God we've got a war Now just this year I married Martha With smiling eyes she said to me I love you most of all my Charlie But I feel I've wed all three All lined up outside the chapel Linked together, man and bride With my old Dad and Martha's mother And a best man either side
