I’m as
shapely a ship as ever there’s been
With a prow
like a swan, my stern has to be seen
My hull is
white and my topsides the same
Eighty feet of
waterline, and Mayan’s my name
I’ve made
passage from Avalon to far Otahiete
My helm is
light and my lines are sweet
My voyages
have been sung and consigned to fame
Eighty feet of
waterline, and Mayan’s my name
I had an
owner and master, my skipper he was
The crew and
the passengers all called him Croz
I took him to the Old Spanish Main
Eighty feet of
waterline, and Mayan’s my name
I’m as
shapely a ship as ever there’s been
With prow
like a swan, my stern has to be seen
My hull is
white and my topsides the same
Eighty feet of
waterline, and Mayan’s my name
Amazing poem John, Croz surely must like this a lot!
