The Mighty Frigate

Let us make ready and set sail This mighty frigate will prevail We will see what we will see Mother Sea is calling me The Mainsail, Lanteen and Jib are set First Mate, Boatswain and crew are the best yet Captain is on the Bridge planning our bearing for today Orders all hands on deck, prepare to wake way Anchors aweigh, the harbor is behind and the wind is at our stern Frigate Constellation is swift and powerful the crew will soon learn First Mate is at the sextant, compass and bell "Ahoy Mates!" the wind fills our sails, all is well Waves crash our bow, course set straight as the crow flies Over Davey Jones's Locker where sea mysteries lie Captain is confident, we will see what we will see I will sail this ship, Mother Sea is calling me

Thank you Tom my friend across the sea! Maybe that ship set sail to break the British blockade of the war of 1812
