about

i made this song in the 1970s in Main while visiting Russ and Lynn. i had spent several months hitchhiking around and staving with various friends for short visits. recorded on my old funky Yamaha.. with sound and drum effects.

lyrics

When the ship sets sail,
we will try to reach another land:
and we will see
the sun over the earth.
When the ship sets sail.

When the brothers sail,
and the sisters see another land,
we will be
whatever we can.
When the ship sets sail

.....ship and crew and captain too.
When the ship sets sail.

When the ship sets sail,
we will try to reach another land:
and we will see
the sun over the earth.
When the ship sets sail.
