Oh, the Thresher, the finest atomic ship that ever dived for the sea
Each man on board was a volunteer Was there 'cause he chose there to be
Chorus:
Ev'ry man jack on board was a hero Ev'ry man jack on board there was brave
Ev'ry man jack on board was a hero Each man risked a watery grave
Oh, their wives and their sweethearts came down to port their last fond good-byes there to say
Each tried her best to be tearless and brave They promised to meet there some day
(Chorus)
Then "Dive," said the Captain and we held our breath A sound like she'd broken in two
That was the last we ever heard of her Last word we had of her crew
(Chorus)
Oh, the Thresher, yes, now her reactor is still but very good company she keeps
Men from the Lexington, Hornet, and the Wasp are down there with her in the deep
(Chorus)
