We Rigged Our Ship

(Cindy Kallet)



We rigged our ship with lines of silver

Way, hey, and we'll all come down

And we set her sails in New England waters

Way, hey, gonna bring her round



We scraped her decks till our backs were strong

And we caulked her seams with strands of oakum



We oiled her rails with hands of linseed

And we sailed her up to the Beaufort Sea



We sewed her sails with threads of seaweed

And we sailed her into Takoradi



We filled her decks with bales of hay

And we ran her down to Casco Bay

We filled her holds with rum for the winter

And we ran her into Oak Bluffs harbor



We rigged our ship with lines of silver

And we set her sails in New England waters
