Following are the lyrics to the "Seawolves Go Wanderin" song that I recorded Last August 31 with the VA West Haven's Homefront Band at Horizon Studios for the September 2018 Seawolf Reunion in San Diego. I was unable to recruit any musicians to do it live so I played the recording at the Banquet.
I couldn't figure out how to put the audio here.
Seawolves Go wanderin (Chorus) A
Wander oer the delta
We don’t lose a’ sense of direction
We know the way to go.
We know the way to go.
1. Scramble in the morning F#m
Launched birds into the sky
Seal team needs a reaction
Seawolves (are) on the fly (down) ↓
2. Comin to the triangle,
pass by Football Isle
Dai-hui Chuck is waiting
Lima-Lima for a mile. (up) ↑
Seawolves Go wanderin
Wander oer the delta
We don’t lose a’ sense of direction
We know the way to go.
We know the way to go.
3. Down below the treeline,
Canal is just below,
We loose our cruel, cruel rockets and
Through the mud we go. ↓
4. PBR’s in the river
Gunships in the air
Charlie’s on our radar
He’s bound to go nowhere ↑
Seawolves Go wanderin
Wander oer the delta
We don’t lose a’ sense of direction
We know the way to go.
We know the way to go.
Our Dets were in the delta (Bridge)
Our scrambles came in threes
Our 44 remembered
And that you surely see.
Harp SOLO on the Bridge
5. He hides across the border
Gamewardens lookin out,
Cambodia: (pause) not a great place (spoken)
When the wolves are all about ↓
6. We landed in the Paddy
scrambled mid of night
Through the treeline Rushing
to get our guys that night ↑
Seawolves Go wanderin
Wander oer the delta
We don’t lose a’ sense of direction
We know the way to go.
We know the way to go.
7. Mother of all Gunners
the J. G. Fire Team
Hueys are on station
Our Bullets blood the stream ↓
8. The Rivers of the Delta
We defended to the Sea
There for all who need us
Soldier, Sailor and Marine ↑
Seawolves Go wanderin
Wander oer the delta
We don’t lose a’ sense of direction
We know the way to go.
We know the way to go.
Our Dets were in the delta
Our scrambles came in threes
Our 44 remembered
And that you surely see.
Harp SOLO on Bridge
9. Flying dark of evening
lights a burning bright
Charley is surprised when,
Muzzles flash is our delight ↓
10. Orange was there with us
In water, food and air
Harmed all of us in country
Our health in dis-repair ↑
Seawolves Go wanderin
Wander oer the delta
We don’t lose a’ sense of direction
We know the way to go.
We know the way to go.
Seawolves Go wanderin
Wander oer the delta
We don’t lose a’ sense of direction
We know the way to go.
We know the way to go.
(Partly spoken)… Final Chorus
Seawolves Went wanderin
We Wandered oer the delta
We didn’t lose our sense of direction
We knew the way to go.
And we still don’t have a home.
Harp Solo on Bridge and Out on E Major
