Lyrics
ON THE MINNEHAHA (Lennie Gallant )
Pulled by the gale and siren song
To the only place where she belongs
Only the stars will guide her now
Only wind will show her how
On the Minnehaha
Can you hear the laughing waters
Hahahaha
She sails into the sun
On the Minnehaha
Sing a song for the ocean’s daughter
Hahahaha
A new day’s begun
This boat is strong, she will be fast
Now lash the helm, climb the mast
Pull all the reef knots out of the main
Then let her have her way again.
Chorus
Bridge
Red sky morning mercury falling
Distant thunder soon to be calling
See the lighting talking tough
From cloud to cloud
Keep a steady hand on the helm
You paid the price to cross this realm
You know the way the wind is moving now
This dream will take you, round the world
This boat will shape you, like a pearl
This sextant on the morning sun
Will lead you there before anyone
Chorus
On the Minnehaha
Can you hear the laughing waters
Hahahaha
She sails into the sun
On the minnehaha
Sing a song for the oceans daughter
hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha…. Etc
