Its stunning to know that so many folks don't know their countries history. The Monitor and the Merrimack is a well documented naval engagement during the War between the States. The fight is considered the precursor to future naval battles. This song is a narrative of the battle between the two ships. The speaker is aboard/watching over the Monitor. Its pretty straight forward. I am standing on the Merrimack's deck during the whole song.
