Frankie Miller - John Peel Session (10th June 1976)

Sail Away (John Peel Session)

In America you get food to eat
You don't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American, oh yeah

Ain't no lion or tiger, ain't no mamba snake
Just that sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Every one man is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog, and sail away with me

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Oh, Lord, in America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
Be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
It's great to be an American

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay, baby
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Oh, Lord

Sail away, sail away
We gonna cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean in the Judgement Day

We're all gonna sail away
