The Men Behind The Guns - Phil Ochs[00:00:00]

Let's drink a toast to the admiral [00:00:04]

And here's to the captain bold [00:00:06]

And glory more for the commodore [00:00:09]

When the deeds of might are told [00:00:11]

They stand to the deck with the battle's wreck [00:00:14]

When the great shells roar and pound [00:00:16]

And never they fear when the foe is near[00:00:19]

To lay their orders down[00:00:21]

But off with your hats and three times three[00:00:24]

For every sailor's son [00:00:26]

For the men below who fight the foe [00:00:29]

The men behind the guns:[00:00:31]

Oh the men behind the guns [00:00:34]

Their hearts a-pounding heavy when[00:00:39]

They swing to port once more[00:00:41]

With never enough of the greenback stuff [00:00:44]

They start for the leave ashore [00:00:46]

And you'd think perhaps the blue-blouse chaps[00:00:49]

Had better clothes to wear [00:00:51]

For the uniforms of officers[00:00:53]

Could hardly be compared:[00:00:55]

Warriors bold with straps of gold[00:00:59]

That dazzle like the sun[00:01:01]

Outshine the common sailor boys [00:01:03]

The lads who serve the guns:[00:01:06]

Oh the men behind the guns [00:01:08]

Say not a word till the shot is heard[00:01:14]

That tells the fight is on [00:01:16]

And the angry sound of another round[00:01:18]

That says there must be God[00:01:21]

Over the deep and the deadly sweep [00:01:24]

The fire and the bursting shell [00:01:25]

Where the very air is a mad despair [00:01:28]

The throes of a living hell [00:01:30]

But down and deep in a mighty ship[00:01:33]

Unseen by the midday sun[00:01:35]

You'll find the boys who make the noise [00:01:38]

The lads who serve the guns:[00:01:40]

Oh the men behind the guns [00:01:43]

And well they know the cyclone blow[00:01:48]

Loose from the cannon's steel [00:01:50]

The know the hull of the enemy ship[00:01:53]

Will quiver with the peal [00:01:55]

And the decks will rock with the lightning shock[00:01:58]

And shake with the great recoil[00:02:00]

While the sea grows red[00:02:03]

With the blood of the dead[00:02:04]

And swallows up her spoil [00:02:06]

But not until the final ship[00:02:08]

Has made her final run[00:02:10]

Can we give their rest to the very best:[00:02:13]

To the lads who serve the guns[00:02:15]

Oh the men behind the guns [00:02:18]

So Let's drink a toast to the admiral [00:02:23]

And here's to the captain bold [00:02:25]

And glory more for the commodore [00:02:28]

When the deeds of might are told [00:02:30]

They stand to the deck with the battle's wreck [00:02:33]

When the great shells roar and pound [00:02:35]

And never they fear when the foe is near[00:02:38]

To lay their orders down[00:02:40]

But off with your hats and three times three[00:02:43]

For every sailor's son [00:02:45]

For the men below who fight the foe [00:02:48]

The men behind the guns:[00:02:50]

Oh the man behind the gun[00:02:53]
