joe crookston – able baker charlie and dog lyrics
my baby girl was born in 1943
the year before the navy shipped me out and overseas
so i held her and kissed her and i said my goodbyes
leaving virginia with a thousand other guys
leaving virginia
in the south pacific beneath the blistering sun
on tinian island there was work to be done
four thousand navy, seabees on the ground
crushing up coral and packing it down
crushing and packing it down
they never told us, forbidden to ask
they handed down the orders, we finished the task
we never knew what the runways were for
they said, our job, would be the one to end the war
now the seabees work like h#ll, ’till the work gets done
we laid four long runways, laid straighter than guns
and the runways they glittered in the sunshine and fog
named able, and baker, and charlie, and dog
able baker charlie and dog
and the diggers and the cranes and my battalion guys
we paved the way to the j#panese skies
85 hundred feet made of coral and clay
and we built them all in just 53 days
we built ’em in 53 days
they never told us, forbidden to ask
they handed down the orders, we finished the task
we never knew what the runways were for
they said, our job, would be the one to end the war
now the rumors flew around tinian, none of us ever had a clue
what enola g#y and little boy would do
and in the early august heat, we all got the news
that the runways we built were the runways they used
able, baker, charlie, and dog
they never told us, forbidden to ask
they handed down the orders, we finished the task
we never knew what the runways were for
they said, our job, would be the one to end the war
