Sailing on the Grace Bailey
We've traveled round the world and yet
There's one thing we can ne'er forget
That scudding into Pulpit
With Grace heeling in the wind
Chorus:
And we'll sail away, we'll sail away, we'll sail away,
and away we'll sail, sailing on the Grace Bailey
She was built in 1882
In the cargo trade she's paid her due
Now she's queen of Windjammer Cruises
Off the coast of Maine
(Chorus)
There's Captain Ray and a motley crew
They'll show the passengers a thing or two
Bout bidding worldly cares adieu
While on Penobscot Bay
(Chorus)
We've got a cannon and we've got gunpowder
We pack it tight to make it louder
One of these days we'll fit it with chowder
For the Mary Day
(Chorus)
In the '94 Great Schooner Race
We led everyone on a merry chase
The Lewis R. French couldn't stand the pace
Set by the Grace Bailey
(Chorus)
Then in 1995
The legend Grace was still alive
Mattie sailed right by our side
Drink a toast to a great lady
(Chorus)
