Allison Rose - Schooner

Sail away, my boys, as we
Journey 'cross the deep blue sea.
We'll take her far, by that bright star,
The one we're glimpsing from afar,
So throw the anchor down, my lads!
The schooner waits for thee.

If by some chance we fail to see
Exotic lands and mystery,
I'll tell you true, and promise you,
That there remains one thing to do;
So hither cast your eyes, my lads!
The schooner waits for thee.

A deadly curse has taken me
With mine own crewmen on the sea,
We all shall die, and 'neath the sky,
Upon the briny bed we'll lie.
So sail your weary way, my lads,
The schooner waits for thee.
