lirik lagu the jolly rogers – yankee clipper
[chorus]
sail on, sail on, yankee clipper!
with your gleaming deck and flag so high
sail on, sail on yankee clipper!
sails full of wind and souls full of pride!
the canvas was tight and the masts did strain
the sea hit the bow and fell like rain
the wind in the rigging sung like a choir
they spoke her name and her legend inspired
“sovereign of the seas”, they named her well
making 400 miles by the midnight bell
no storm or wave could oppose her crown
for the sea already knew her gallant renown!
[chorus]
sail on, sail on, yankee clipper!
with your gleaming deck and flag so high
sail on, sail on yankee clipper!
sails full of wind and souls full of pride!
we crowd of young sailors reefed the sail
to catch the wind as it blew a gale
the captain laughed to go ‘round the h~rn
as he steered her true for ol’ melbourne
she flew with the speed of poseidon’s horse
and straight as an arrow she kept her course!
she flew so fast we outraced the sun
and arrived the day before we begun!
[chorus]
sail on, sail on, yankee clipper!
with your gleaming deck and flag so high
sail on, sail on yankee clipper!
sails full of wind and souls full of pride!
it was the same in the pacific blue
her sails and spirit would win us through
we steered her home and she took flight
and kept that pace both day and night
in new york harbor they doubted their eyes
our early return was their surprise
but the captain said, turning back to sea
“she won’t stay at dock, she has to fly free!”
[chorus]
sail on, sail on, yankee clipper!
with your gleaming deck and flag so high
sail on, sail on yankee clipper!
sails full of wind and souls full of pride!
sail on, sail on, yankee clipper!
with your gleaming deck and flag so high
sail on, sail on yankee clipper!
sails full of wind and souls full of pride!
