Tom Crean

The following Tom Crean Videos is for any one with an interest in Tom Crean from Kerry County Ireland. Particularly the original recording of the song written by his fellow crew members in 1918 celebrating Tom Crean as 'the bravest man the world's ever seen'. The song is accompanied with images compiled on video (and posted to YouTube).

(Tom Crean was on the 'early' Antarctica cruises when it wasn't so comfortable!)

Antarctica Song - Tom Crean Song By Crew Members Recored 1918

Song Lyrics:

Hail, hail, Tom Crean, hail, hail, Tom Crean,
He's the bravest man that the world's ever seen.
Hail, hail, Tom Crean, hail, hail, Tom Crean,
He's the Irish giant from county Kerry.

Walked thirty-five miles in the Arctic alone
To save Teddy Evans from making his bones.
He went down to the south with Shackleton and Scott,
Won three polar medals and a coward he's not.
Faced death many times, but he never backed down.
Came home to Anascaul, his little home town.

Hail, hail, Tom Crean, hail, hail, Tom Crean,
He's the bravest man that the world's ever seen.
Hail, hail, Tom Crean, hail, hail, Tom Crean,
He's the Irish giant from county Kerry. (less)
