How the Ranks Was Won
Brazos

on the first day the ranks was filled with the men from o'borrow hill

on the second day the west wind wailed and the men threw up the sail

on the third day the chilly breeze was an iceberg in the sea

on the fourth day the setting sun was a sign that the day was done

how long till the ranks was won?



on the fifth day they danced their feet top the cabin where the major sleeps

on the sixth day they crossed the line sweetheart men child and wive

on the seventh day the ranks was calm but a calm don't last for long

how long till the ranks was won?



look out, look up child


and feel that wind upon your back

a little secret on your back

so now you know just why we left



long day when the ship was found a young child saw it run aground

long walk down an empty beach to a ladder that climbed and reached

long stretch of his cabin neck when he rose right on the deck

long look, and then it comes,

and that's how the ranks was won
