jim stewart (can) - marco polo lyrics

[verse 1]
where the marsh creek waters meet courtenay bay
(heave her ’round and let ’er fly)
james smith yard, a keel did lay
(there’s no ship here can match her)
she was launched with a groanin’ thud
(she’s like a demon sailin’ by)
she’s stuck two weeks in the marsh creek mud
(there’s no ship here can catch her)

[chorus]
and it’s liverpool in fifteen days
the seven seas, her name will praise
the wind in her hair and her sails unfurled
she’s the fastеst ship in all the world
and her name is marco polo

[verse 2]
hеr keel’s all bent, she’ll never sail
(heave her ’round and let ’er fly)
james smith’s hopes are doomed to fail
(there’s no ship here can match her)
he’s felt the wrath of the jeers and scorn
(she’s like a demon sailin’ by)
through the pain the legend’s born
(there’s no ship here can catch her)
[chorus]
and it’s liverpool in fifteen days
the seven seas, her name will praise
the wind in her hair and her sails unfurled
she’s the fastest ship in all the world
and her name is marco polo

[verse 3]
to the black ball line she soon was sold
(heave her ’round and let ‘er fly)
australia+bound in search of gold
(there’s no ship here can match her)
she was ruled with an iron hand
(she’s like a demon sailin’ by)
when bully folbes was in command
(there’s no ship here can catch her)

[chorus]
and it’s liverpool in fifteen days
the seven seas, her name will praise
the wind in her hair and her sails unfurled
she’s the fastest ship in all the world
and her name is marco polo

[verse 4]
it’s sixty+eight days to melbourne town
(heave her ’round and let ‘er fly)
the waves will echo her renown
(there’s no ship here can match her)
she’s beaten packets run by steam
(she’s like a demon sailin’ by)
from james smith’s wish to saint john’s dream
(there’s no ship here can catch her)
[chorus]
and it’s liverpool in fifteen days
the seven seas, her name will praise
the wind in her hair and her sails unfurled
she’s the fastest ship in all the world
and her name is marco polo

[verse 5]
for thirty+two years she ran the tide
(heave her ’round and let ‘er fly)
on cavendish shoal she finally died
(there’s no ship here can match her)
her dreams are much too hard to k!ll
(she’s like a demon sailin’ by)
the marco polo’s livin’ still
(there’s no ship here can catch her)

[chorus]
and it’s liverpool in fifteen days
the seven seas, her name will praise
the wind in her hair and her sails unfurled
she’s the fastest ship in all the world
and her name is marco polo

and it’s liverpool in fifteen days
the seven seas, her name will praise
the wind in her hair and her sails unfurled
she’s the fastest ship in all the world
and her name is marco polo
