Anchors they weigh a lot, and well they should.
Anchors are made of iron, seldom made of woo-oo-oo-ood.
Iron it sinks a lot. Wood's light and floats.
That's why the anchor's iron. Wood's for building, wood's for building boats.
(Original lyric by Jody Gibson)
Come to the Prospect Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Granville MA, Aug 17, 18, & 19. I'll sing all 4 verses of "The Defense of Fort McHenry" (Star Spangled Banner). It is one hell of a song when you hear the whole thing.
