answering the call - joel jerome (folk) lyrics
jerry and clancy raised in the midwest plains
destined for the farms at an early age
workin’ in the fields where the wheat swept in waves
lost in reverie at the end of the day
huddled ’round the radio when war was declared
signed the navy’s line, their mamas said a prayer
with fiery eyes and oceans seen only in dreams
off to war at only eighteen
sweat ran off their brow in the south pacific sun
sweetheart letters written when the days were done
planes roared, waves crashed and the sea stretched on forever
fall of ’42 turned for the solomons
sirens blasted loud, chaos ensued
the carrier wasp struck by three torpedos
smoke engulfed, flames spread and the ammunition blew
their eyes briefly met but fell out of view
the rope burned his hands, he fell through the tide
jerry surfaced, the sky rained debris and fire
he watched it disappear with a hundred ninety three
clancy would never rise from the sea
flags waved slow, he stepped off the train
clancy’s mama’s hope quickly turned to pain
the only thing he could offer for her grief
was clancy’s smile would live on in his memories
