We Rigged Our Ship (Cindy Kallet) We rigged our ship with lines of silver Way, hey, and we'll all come down And we set her sails in New England waters Way, hey, gonna bring her round We scraped her decks till our backs were strong And we caulked her seams with strands of oakum We oiled her rails with hands of linseed And we sailed her up to the Beaufort Sea We sewed her sails with threads of seaweed And we sailed her into Takoradi We filled her decks with bales of hay And we ran her down to Casco Bay We filled her holds with rum for the winter And we ran her into Oak Bluffs harbor We rigged our ship with lines of silver And we set her sails in New England waters MC
