New American

Yankee cutter trade wind breeze

Wayward soul on the 7 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

Thats 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

Sixteen 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
