A Yankee Ship, and a Yankee Crew.
A Yankee ship, and a Yankee crew,
Tally hi ho! you know!
O’er the bright blue waves like a sea-bird flew,
Singing hey! aloft and alow!
Her sails are spread to the fairy breeze!
The spray as sparkling thrown from her prow,
Her flag is the proudest that floats on the seas,
When homeward she’s steering now!
A Yankee ship, and a Yankee crew,
