A thousand times may she bear it yet,
And a thousand to that again!
For her freight has ever more precious grown,
Each time we have watched her start,
With the varied cheer that has grown so dear
To many a home and heart.
Then success and long life to the “G. O. P.”
’Tis with hands all round, and across the sea,
That we speed her forth with our three times three!
Success and long life to the Captain staunch,
