There is a different version of "The Marco Polo" than the one in the DT. I have it on tape or cd but can't seem to locate it right now. MARCO POLO Where the Marsh Creek waters meet Courtenay Bay HEAVE HER ROUND AND LET HER FLY At James Smith's yard her keel did lay THERE'S NO SHIP HERE CAN MATCH HER She was launched with a groan and thud SHE'S LIKE A DEMON SAILING BY She was stuck two weeks in the Marsh Creek mud THERE'S NO SHIP HERE CAN CATCH HER CHORUS: Liverpool in fifteen days, the seven seas her name will praise Wind in her hair and her sails unfurled, she's the fastest ship in all the world, and her name is Marco Polo Her keel's all bent, she'll never sail - HEAVE HER ROUND AND LET HER FLY James Smith's hopes are doomed to fail - THERE'S NO SHIP THAT CAN MATCH HER She's felt the wrath of jeers and scorn - SHE'S LIKE A DEMON SAILING BY And through the pain the legend's born - THERE'S NO SHIP HERE CAN CATCH HER ****THERE IS MORE TO THE SONG BUT I ONLY REMEMBER THE FIRST PART****** Willie-O's Song "The Anna Grace: is a wonderful ship building be sure to check it out.
