lee murdock - the crack schooner moonlight lyrics

Loading...

hooray for a race down the lakes!

the tug towed out the moonlight, dropped us in the gale
with the schooner law before us and the porter on our tail
see her canvas going on to a hearty halyard song
hooray for a race down the lakes!

oh, the wind’s out of the nor’west and a blow+in’ all the night
you can see them big seas rollin’ with their bonnets all in white
and off our starboard rail are a half a hundred sail
hooray for a race down the lakes!

hooray for a race down the lakes!
hooray for a race down the lakes!
and off our starboard rail are a half a hundred sail
hooray for a racе down the lakes!

to the win’rd of thе law we points our long jib+boom
and high atop her main truck goes the old cabin broom
we will never shorten sail ‘til we bury her lee rail
hooray for a race down the lakes!

the rainbows playing forward and a foaming wake is aft
and her deck is all a’slanting beneath her groaning masts
you can see the old man grin as she bullies in the wind
hooray for a race down the lakes!
hooray for a race down the lakes!
hooray for a race down the lakes!
and off our starboard rail are a half a hundred sail
hooray for a race down the lakes!

see us walk upon the foremast, at our stern the dimming shore
as we leave the law, the damforth, and all others by the score
see us gaining to the lead, pay the groaning masts no heed
hooray for a race down the lakes!

oh, we’ll skirt the western shore, for ahead is milwaukee
all day and night we’ll drive her ‘till the straits are on our lee
just let the old ponds roar as they’ve often done before
hooray for a race down the lakes!

hooray for a race down the lakes!
hooray for a race down the lakes!
and off our starboard rail are a half a hundred sail
hooray for a race down the lakes!
