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 16 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
