Hang To Your Grit!

Don't give up hoping when the ship goes down,

Grab a spar or something~just refuse to drown.

Don't think you are dying just because you're hit,

Smile in face of danger and hang to your grit.

Folks die too easy~they sort of fade away;

Make a little error and give up in dismay.

Kind of man that's needed is the man of ready wit,

To laugh at pain and trouble and keep up his grit.
