The USS Liberty–A Song

No one cried when our sailors died

Proud men serving on the liberty

A US Flag was flyin high

They were floatin without motion

In the Straight of Sinai

 

Oh yea…oh yea…

 

Our friends circled us early that mornin’

Old Jim Ennis saw the white of their teeth

No one knew what was about to go down

They started droppin bombs on our brave men….

 

WE ALL THOUGHT ISRAEL WAS OUR FRIEND!!

 

(Chorus)

Cover it up with your biggest blanket

You couldn’t sink her so now we can see

Cover it up with your biggest blanket

You couldn’t sink our Liberty

 

(v2)

They started with rockets and machine gun fire

oh the 2nd round they let the napalm down

That wasn’t enough to sink our Liberty

So They brought torpedo boats to give it a go

 

oh yea….oh yea….

 

Now 34 men lay dead or dyin

They drop life boats and began to row

No one knew what was about to go down

They started droppin bombs on running men

 

WE ALL THOUGHT ISRAEL WAS OUR FRIEND!!!

 

(Chorus)

Cover it up with your biggest blanket

You couldn’t sink her so now we can see

Cover it up with your biggest blanket

You couldn’t sink our Liberty

 

Cover it up….co…ver…it…up

You couldn’t sink our Liberty

Cover it up…co..ver…it…up

You couldn’t sink our liberty!
