Her Name Is Grace

HER NAME IS GRACE Her? name is Grace She is tall and handsome She draws a card and it's an ace! "Unpack your bags, don't be a disgrace Our little Grace!" Born out of a wedlock, a little crazed Not fond of embroidery or lace No wedding bells will ever chime For our little Grace She wears her old coat Over her greying dress A charcoal bonnet She is good for the boat! "Unpack your bags, don't be a disgrace Our little Grace!" She won't unpack her bags, our Grace! Shuts the door tight. " A left and a left and another and another..." She makes She is a master navigator Of the mazes And mistress of no traces amazing Grace! And leaps on the boat tomorrow Swift as an arrow "Our mother Grace She was no disgrace When she left her motherland She earned her living In makeshift hotels Scrubbing and cleaning And later She made her fortune Being the hostess Of delightful Charm and grace To the lonesome sailors Our mother Grace" Sing children of Grace Years later In the Newfoundland, in New Amsterdam Yasemin Balandi
