Henry's Songbook

There's a high road to Gourock
And a ferry tae Dunoon
And the world will be watchin'
When we're mairchin' thro' the toon

Ban the bomb and lift the base
Till it's sunk without a trace
Put the Yanks intae orbit
For there's plenty room in space

You may come frae Odessa, mate
Frae Baltimore or Perth
But the threat o' Polaris
Mak's ae country o' the earth

Ban the bomb and blaw the base
Far awa' tae outer space
It's tae hell wi' Polaris
Or the puir auld human race

Oh 'K' stands for Kennedy
Wha mak's us a' sae blue
And 'H' stands for Holy Loch
And Hiroshima too

Ban the bomb and blaw the base
Tae some ither hotter place
It's tae hell wi' Polaris
Or the puir auld human race

As sung by Josh MacRae

(Gourock, Dunoon - towns on the Firth of Clyde, at the entrance of the Holy Loch where the American Polaris nuclear missiles were stationed)
