Waving goodbye with tears in our eyes,
We left our loved ones behind.
Many of us never been off-shore,
Not knowing what Fate had in store.
For twenty years upon her we sailed
From Múrmansk to the Bay of Biscay,
Serving King, Queen and Country;
In battle and peace we prevailed . . .
We came from the East,
We came from the West,
Brothers in arms,
(Brothers in arms . . . )
Good men one and all . . .!Twenty-seven Tribals set out to sea.
Thirteen sunk. Thirteen gone.
Only Haida lives on!
She's in a class of her own!
In a class of her own!
The years went by and she lay still
But threats still remained.
People cried out to save her greatness,
Her greatness and her name.
She stands tall honouring all who died
So we could be free.
No sacrifice never too great
Lest we forget the Tribals' legacy!
We came from the East,
We came from the West,
Brothers in arms,
(Brothers in arms . . . )
Proud sailors one and all!
Twenty-seven Tribals set out to sea.
Thirteen sunk. Thirteen gone.
Only Haida lives on!
She's in a class of her own!
In a class of her own!
(Instrumental Interlude)

We shared joy and fear,
Laughter and sorrow,
Victory and loss . . .
To ship and comrades, raise a tot!Many memories we have stored,
The journey from life aboard.
To the end of our watch,
Lives on a ship forever moored!
Twenty-seven Tribals set out to sea.
Thirteen sunk. Thirteen gone.
Only Haida lives on . . .!
(Only Haida lives on . . .!)
She's in a class of her own!
(She's in a class of her own!)
In a class of her own!
Twenty-seven Tribals set out to sea.
(Twenty-seven Tribals . . . )
Thirteen sunk. Thirteen gone.
(Thirteen gone . . . )
Only Haida lives on . . .!
(Only Haida lives on . . .!)
She's in a class of her own!
(She's in a class of her own!)
In a class of her own!
She's in a class of her own . . .
