My Fame Was Born On The Waters
(a song parody to the tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
1.
My birth was in beautiful Scotland,
and then I came over the sea.
In time I would land in Savannah,
to fight for the Rebel Navy.
Ladies - lined up - to fancy me up for the fight,
brothers - worked hard - to fit my iron just right.
2.
I finally fought in the battles
they thought I would be a star.
But when I was in shallow water,
I landed upon a sand bar.
Blue's my color - never to see me in gray,
Now I'm fighting - for the USA.
3.
Again I am now refitted,
fighting my dearest friends.
I'm hoping this war will be over,
to just float beside river bends.
On the - river - fighting on for fame,
the Yanks - rebuilt me - but never changed my name.
4.
The war was finally over,
but my time was growing short.
In 4 years I'm sold and must sail on,
but I never reached my new port.
Fighting - bravely - the Union I helped save,
but the - ocean - now it is my grave.
