*from 'Sail Away' (1972)*


*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: )


Verse 1:

                     
 In A-merica, you'll get food to eat.

 Won't have to run through the jungle,
    
And scuff up your feet.
                                    
 You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day;
                             
 It's great to be an American.

Verse 2:

                                
 Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snake,
                                 
 Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake.
                         
 Everybody is as happy as a man can be,
                               
 Climb aboard little wog, sail a-way with me.

Chorus 1:

           
Sail -way,
           
Sail -way.
                                               
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

           
Sail -way,
           
Sail -way,
                                             
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

Verse 3:

                
 In A-merica, every man is free,
                                
 To take care of his home and his family.
                     
 You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree;
                
 You're all gonna be an American.

Chorus 2:

           
Sail -way,
           
Sail -way.
                                               
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

           
Sail -way,
           
Sail -way,
                                       
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.
