Excitement in the air
|
There's a journey to prepare
|
They check the food and water's all on board
|
They're waiting for the tide
|
The sails are open wide
|
They're sailing to a better place to dwell
|
|
They're sailing to America
|
Fly the banners high
|
They're sailing to America
|
Set the rigging high
|
|
The quayside's full of friends
|
A farewell in their hands
|
No-one knows if they'll reach the shore
|
As Plymouth slips away
|
They'll not be back again
|
They're sailing off towards the promised land
|
|
They're sailing to America
|
Fly the banners high
|
They're sailing to America
|
Set the rigging high
|
|
They're sailing to America
|
Fly the banners high
|
|
The Mayflower's on her way
|
Set sail for many days
|
The lookout searching for the distant shore
|
Anchored in the surf
|
Their journey's at an end
|
The pilgrims set their feet on virgin land
|
|
They're sailing to America
|
Fly the banners high
|
They're sailing to America
|
Set the rigging high
|
