Lyrics:

(to the tune of “The River is Wide”)

The pilgrims sailed far across the sea
It was as cramped as it could be
With water seeping in the ship
Could they survive the long journey

They left to worship God their way
With nothing more than guts and faith
Soon they found land miraculously
And they fell on their knees to pray

Their settlement had swamps and sand
The pilgrims were a weary band
Still they built homes and they worked hard
To make a home in the new land

The pilgrims sailed far across the sea
It was as cramped as it could be
With water seeping in the ship
Still they survived the long journey
Yes, they survived the long journey
