Lyrics
Square rigged with a beakhead bow
High castles fore and aft
Carrying the Pilgrim fathers
Steered by a whipstaff
On board the Mayflower
From Plymouth to set sail
A cruel wind will surely blow
Now come and hear this tale
Christopher Jones the master captain
Knew his ship so well
The master mate was John Clark
With him he would set sail
On board the Mayflower
From Plymouth to set sail
A cruel wind will surely blow
Into an Atlantic gale
On board the Mayflower
From Plymouth to set sail
A cruel wind will surely blow
Now come and hear this tale
On board the Mayflower
From Plymouth to set sail
A cruel wind will surely blow
Into an Atlantic gale
Now come and hear this tale
Now come and hear this tale
Into an Atlantic gale
