about

The true story behind the invention of the submarine, set in the backdrop of the American Civil War.

lyrics

Vs 1
We ain't got no coffee
We're runnin' out of food
Long as theres a blockade sittin' out there
There's nothin' we can do
We've gotta clear them ships
If we're gonna last the war
If we can't trade cotton for ourselves
Then what on earth are we fightin' for?

Vs 2
Don't worry don't despair
I think I've got an idea
For a boat that swims under the waves
And we'll attack them from the rear
We'll call it a submarine
And I'll steer the thing myself
Just gimmie an old steam boiler
And seven men in peak of health

Ch
Take your seat and stay calm
Take your fate into your palm
'Cos the third times the charm

Vs 3
Today let's take action
We've tested the damn thing twice
Twenty-one men proved that it works
And paid for it with their lives
Time to crank up the wheel
You boys got a job to do
Just be brave, do it for your state
And come on home when you're through

Ch
Take your seat and stay calm
Take your fate into your palm
'Cos the third time’s the charm

Vs 4
They've broken the blockade
They've stabbed it in it's side
Sank a sloop of twelve hundred tons
And all but five men died
I don't think they're coming back
They've been gone for seven days
It looks like Hunley and God's green earth
have finally parted ways

Ch
Take your seat and stay calm
Take your fate into your palm
'Cos the third time’s the charm

The Rin Tins Bristol, UK

Keep them dancing.
That’s the ethos that The Rin Tins have kept since their inception in early 2011 and since then the sextet have strutted from one stage to another playing high octane gypsy swing to the party hard masses.
With music that combines 5 part harmonies with swing jazz rhythms and pounding oompa beats, for 7 years they've been filling dance floors & festival tents across the UK. ... more
