    Waltzing aboard the Mayflower. This ship transported the first settlers to the east coast of the United States. On board were the ancestors of today's American families.
    Hold on tight because this waltz ends in a swirling jig!

    Une valse sur l'épopée du Mayflower. Ce bateau a transporté les premiers colons sur la côte est des Etats-Unis. Il a eu à son bord les aïeuls de grandes familles américaines d'aujourd'hui.
    Accrochez-vous car cette valse se termine sur une gigue tourbillonnante !

lyrics

WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA

IN 1620 WE ALL BOARDED ON THE PROUD MAYFLOWER
A BIBLE IN ONE HAND AND A GUN IN THE OTHER
WE’D LEFT OLE ENGLAND TO FIND A PROMISE LAND
WE SAILED MANY DAYS TO REACH A VIRGIN LAND

WHEN YOU ARE A YOUNG GUY THE TIME DOESN’T FLY
AND THE WIDE BLUE SEAWAY CAN TAKE YOUR HEART AWAY
YOU CAN PRAY FOR THE CHANCE YOU CAN WAIT FOR A DANCE
EVEN IF THE ELDERS SURVEY THE MAYFLOWER

WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
SET THE RIGGIN’ HIGH
IN SEARCH OF A NEW SKY
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
THE BIG POND IS OPEN HIGH
AND WE GO BYE AND BYE

BRADFORD WAS OUR CHIEF HEAVE A SIGH OF RELIEF
TO BE FREE ACROSS THE SEA MOTHERS SANG FAITHFULLY
SWEET HYMNS FOR PIOUS MEN AMEN AMEN
THE MAYFLOWER BY NAME WAS A CRADLE AGAIN

AT THE END OF FIRST WINTER HALF OF US WERE GONE DEAD
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIDDLES?WE GOT SNOW OVER’R HEAD
BUT SOME FRIDAY NIGHTS AN OL’ REEL WE COULD PLAY
WE WERE HERE TO STAY FIGHTIN’ DAY AFTER DAY

WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
SET THE RIGGIN’ HIGH
IN SEARCH OF A NEW SKY
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
THE BIG POND IS OPEN HIGH
AND WE GO BYE AND BYE

WE WERE NOT SURRENDERS AND DEFIED ALL THE DANGERS
OH PEOPLE PLEASE REJOICE
THAT’S YOUR LAND PLEASE GIVE VOICE
PLYMOUTH IS FAR AWAY WE WON’T BE BACK AGAIN
OLE WORLD IS FAR AWAY NEW ONE IS OURS! AMEN

WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
SET THE RIGGIN’ HIGH
IN SEARCH OF A NEW SKY
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
WHITE SAILS ON THE SEA
THE BIG POND IS OPEN HIGH
AND WE GO BYE AND BYE
