With Sails of burnished silver Upon masts of beads and gold We navigate the oceans And the mystery's unfold We never ask the questions Though you may wonder why We sail for king and parliament We conquer or we die We named our ship the Southern Cross That sails for captain Corn To chart uncharted oceans there And sail into the dawn We never ask the questions Though the reasons are not clear The maidens miss a sailors kiss But there'll be back next year
