Cap't Bob songs about building boats/ships? (104* d) Lyr Add: MARCO POLO 12 Dec 04


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.
