Little Ship (Live) - Peter, Paul & Mary

作曲：Noel Paul Stookey/Peter Yarrow

There was a ship that went a sailing

A little boat that went a whaling

Though it had ne-ne-never sailed before

And it had ne-ne-never left the shore

Away away

The boat sailed out into the ocean

A rocking with a gentle motion

Into the med-med spell it if you can

Into the med-med iteranian

Away away

For five or six weeks they just cruised up and down

Until their food was used up

And then the co-co-cook said to the crew

We'll have to co-co-cook up one of you

Away away

To find out who should be the victim

By eeny meeny moe they picked him

He was the li-li-ttilest of the lot

He was so li-li-ttle he fit the pot

Away away

He cried of course and they consoled him

We'll cook you tenderly they told him

So make one wi-wi-wish and that's your last

He said I wi-wi-wish to climb the mast

Away away

He shimmied right up to the mast top

Into the lookout at the last top

What's to the nor-nor-north he heard them call

It's just the nor-north pole and that is all

Away away

So try the south he heard them sing out

So he turned south and heard bells ring out

I hear bells clang-clang-clanging now he cried

It's just the lunch bell clanging they replied

Away away

But there's a church and there's a steeple

I see a town that's full of people

Across the ti-ti-tide it seems so near

'Cause we're still ti-ti-tied up at the pier

Away away

And so they cheered and made him captain

Which proves that anything can happen

Sometimes by lo-lo-looking from afar

We find out whe-whe-where we really are

Or not

So that's the ending of this edifying story

About the mediteranian

And we have heard this before

So we will sing sing sing it just once more

Away away
