Chorus: Oh, Iowa, the pride of the sea, From battles fierce to victory, With guns that thundered, flags unfurled, A guardian bold in a war-torn world. Verse 2: 1943, she carried Roosevelt’s hope, Across the ocean's vast and daunting scope, In the Marshall Islands, her cannons roared, Clearing the path, breaking down the door. Chorus: Oh, Iowa, the pride of the sea, From battles fierce to victory, With guns that thundered, flags unfurled, A guardian bold in a war-torn world. Verse 3: In Tokyo Bay, she saw the war end, As Halsey's flagship, her might did lend, To the dawn of peace, she bore witness true, The battles fought, the skies once blue. Bridge: In Korea’s strife, she answered the call, Her guns once more defending all, Through storms and fire, she stood her ground, A symbol of strength, where honor is found. Chorus: Oh, Iowa, the pride of the sea, From battles fierce to victory, With guns that thundered, flags unfurled, A guardian bold in a war-torn world. Verse 4: In '84, she sailed once more, Against the threat of Cold War’s roar, But in '89, a sorrowful day, Her turret’s blast took lives away. Chorus: Oh, Iowa, the pride of the sea, From battles fierce to victory, With guns that thundered, flags unfurled, A guardian bold in a war-torn world. Outro: Now she rests in the LA port, A museum of valor, a sailor’s fort, USS Iowa, with stories grand, A timeless legend, forever she'll stand. Chorus: Oh, Iowa, the pride of the sea, From battles fierce to victory, With guns that thundered, flags unfurled, A guardian bold in a war-torn world.
