Hi folks- anyone have anything to add to this fragment?

Trim your sails to the breeze; Steady she goes"

Thanks muchly- Julia

FWIW, it could be a recent rewrite of the well-known "Colorado Trail":

Then lower down the boats my boys and after him we'll travel
But if ya get too near his tail, he'll send ya to the devil sayin'
Blow ye winds in the mornin
Blow ye winds hi ho
Haul away your runnin gear and blow boys blow
