Jutlandia

It was in 1949 or around that time
When there was war in Korea
The ship was called Jutlandia and it went far and wide
For there was war in Korea
 
Equipped from cellar to floor
As a floating hospital
 
Hey-ho for Jutlandia
She comes as called to the battle
At home the hunter is home from his hunt
And the sailor is home from the sea
 
When the boys go to war, the women sail by
On the red cross-painted ships
And Lili Marleen sings “Auf Wiedersehn”
When they die like flies
 
The canons play first violin
C’mon soldier - sing along!
 
Hey-ho for Jutlandia
She comes as called to the battle
At home the hunter is home from his hunt
And the sailor is home from the sea
 
She sails through the night with all her children
Alive and dead
White like a virgin and brave like an eagle
She goes to meet the war
 
Nurse of 16 years
Tend to the soldiers’ wounds
 
Hey-ho for Jutlandia
She comes as called to the battle
At home the hunter is home from his hunt
And the sailor is home from the sea
 
Hey-ho for Jutlandia
She comes as called to the battle
At home the hunter is home from his hunt
And the sailor is home from the sea
