New American

Yankee cutter, trade wind breeze

Wayward soul on the seven lost seas

We ran in boulder til it was time to go

Worked the Klondike in the ice and snow

As I watched the sun go down

The night is just begun

This is my home now

For I am a new American

Eddie the Butcher was a stevedore

We sailed together to the Singapore shore

That's where we met Calico Jim

We drank his money and his bathtub gin

As I watched the sun go down

The night is just begun

This is my home now

For I am a new American

Sixteen days

Dead-end street

Ironclad

Pride of the fleet

As long as I can live to tell

The Butcher and I can still raise hell

As I watched the sun go down

The night is just begun

This is my home now

For I am a new American
