Pete McIntosh - The Majestic Lyrics

They dropped the lines just past super time
A Greek Captain's ship
The American flag and his were flying high
His first mate took the grip
And you know we were sailing straight through the night
Led by the full moon's white light

Woke up to a rumblin' sound, her anchor taking depth
To keep her three hundred passengers within the reef's cleft
And her frame stood sturdy as we tendered to the shore
With planted foot I felt her rock and roll no more

And the ship was worthy of her thirty years at sea
The crew stood ready at the captain's every call
The rails were polished down the stairs and through the halls
The galley plenty stocked
Her majestic body full

And the captain's son was a member of his crew
He rubbed elbows with the engine men, the prep cooks and the crow
Said son if you're going to sail her one day you need to learn from inside out
Guarantee her another thirty years a float

And the ship was worthy of her thirty years at sea
The crew stood ready at the captain's every call
The rails were polished down the stairs and through the halls
The galley plenty stocked
Her majestic body full
