ryan’s fancy – the wreck of the anna maria كلمات اغاني

forty long days in an old sailing ship
how my eyes long to rest on the sh0r-
i’ll be glad to see land and to touch the fair hand
of the maiden i left there before

from the african seas we come loaded
with coconut, spices, and coal
and perfume, gold, and silk dresses
for our womenfolk’s eyes to behold

now the wind and the seas are a-rising
and the sails feel the birth of a storm
i turn up my coat and feel good with the thought
that soon i’ll be home in the warm

there’s trouble there up in the rigging
and the decks are awash with the sea
sailors and deck-hands are climbing
as the sails try to wrench themselves free

we grapple and scratch with our fingers
as the rigging strains hard in the gale
with the wind and the seas not abating
our efforts seem destined to fail

the lifeboats are falling about us
and we swim for our life in the swell
would we get home to our loved ones again
no one really could tell

a light in the distance before us
spurs us on like a welcoming hand
and we row hard with joy in our voices
drawing close to the safety of land

our ship was the brave anna maria
she was found on the rocks broke in two
the cargo was lost with the captain
and the boatswain and mate of the crew

forty long days in an old sailing ship
how my eyes long to rest on the sh0r-
i’ll be glad to see land and to touch the fair hand
of the maiden i left there before
