I did an update of Johnny Horton's lyrics, one stanza per comment, on Facebook and Facebook decided I was trying to incite violence on a ship that had already sunk. Facebook didn't have a problem with guns & cut-downs mentioned anywhere in the song EXCEPT in the refrain. I appealed, they ruled against me, and I appealed to the Board, giving 'em a link to Horton's lyrics and said I posted about Facebook's rulings and now everybody thinks they're stupid. Johhny Horton is personna non grata on Facebook. :-}}
Before I post the lyrics here it's better to get Horton's tune in your head first...

Ready? Here goes:
=========================

Feb'uary twenty twenty-two, the invasion had begun
The Russians had the biggest ship, they had the biggest guns
The Moskva was the greatest ship sailing the Black Sea
On her deck were guns as big as moose and rockets big as trees

On Snake Island, on a foggy night, a watch securely stood;
And every Ukraine soldier, he knew and understood
They had to sink the Moskva, the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as moose and those rockets big as trees

We'll find the Russian battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Moskva 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the trenches runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Moskva, we gonna cut her down
Ukrainians found the Moskva on that fateful day
The Moskva started firin' fifteen miles away
"We gotta sink the Moskva" was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away, 'twas Snake Island that went down

For long, long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Zelenskyy told the people "launch every drone a-sail
'Cause somewhere near Sevastopol, I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Moskva to the bottom of the sea"

We'll find that Russian battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Moskva 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the trenches runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Moskva we have to cut her down
The fog had cleared the final day and they saw the mornin' sun
So hours away from homeland the Moskva made that run
The leader of the drone fleet said "fly those birds around
We found that Russian battleship and we're gonna cut her down"

The Neptune shots were aimed and the rockets comin' fast
The first shot hit the Moskva--they knew she couldn't last
That mighty Russian battleship is just a memory
"Go eff yourself" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas

We found that Russian battleship's been makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Moskva 'cause the world depends on us
We flew the drone as decoy and we spun their heads around
Yeah we found the mighty Moskva--and--then we cut her down
