Neil Diamond - On the Robert E. Lee lyrics

Hey Look at the way she's wavin' her sail It's a wondrous sight to see People hurry on down from every town Have a look at the Robert E. Lee Proud and strong and made to be free Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee Got the sun in my eyes And the wind in my face And it's good just to be alive Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans I won't sleep till I arrive And if I'm lucky, I'll find a young lady under the stars And we'll dance the night away Somebody wake me and say it's a dream Leadin' me far from my home And haven't you noticed Despite what it seems You can't deny it's you and I alone Maybe spend my life just workin' the land Maybe livin' from day to day But I'm free tonight in New Orleans If I like it, I just might stay Proud and strong and made to be free Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee Got the sun in my eyes And the wind in my face And it's good just to be alive Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans I won't sleep till I arrive
