| On
the ocean and
the sea,
 her
mighty mass,
 she
carried me.
 *
 She
carried me
 and
many others,
 for
after all,
 we
all were brothers.
 *
 Our
tours seemed brief
 in
her great story,
 for
she had seen
 and
lived the glory.
 *
 Her
battles rang loud
 to
the world around,
 as
her valiant life
 was
far from ground.
 *
 The
Yorktown legend
 is
one of prominence,
 The
Fighting Lady
 was
known for dominance.
 *
 Her
men, her planes
 her
fighting spirit,
 Knew
no bounds
 her
crew wouldn't hear it.
 *
 They
went to sea
 for
duty calls
 and
took their place
 in
hallowed halls.
 *
 This
old gray lady,
 this
grand ol gal,
 has
met the enemy
 and
gave em hell.
 *
 Some
say she rests
 at
the bottom of the sea,
 but
we who know her
 know
that can't be.
 *
 She
lives in the hearts
 of
many a mortal,
 and
sails as always
 through
greatness' portal.
 *
 In
days gone by
 she
had her heyday,
 We
hold her dear
 The
Fighting Lady.
