   Marblehead Morning   
   It's a Marblehead morning colored cobblestone gray   
   Coming on strong to a New England day   
   The harbors are forests of tall sailing trees   
   Getting ready to sail on a mid-morning breeze   
      
   (Chorus 1)   
   Fair is my captain, I long to tell him so   
   Haul away, heave away, he's going to sail away   
   Good times are passing by, high tide is running high   
   Haul away, heave away, he's going to leave today   
      
   For three hundred years of going to sea   
   The Marblehead men left the woman to keep   
   A close watch upon the fine line between   
   The blue of the sky and the green of the sea   
      
   (Chorus 2)   
   Farewell, good Jonell   
   How I wish I could stay   
   Good-bye, first love of mine   
   Look for my sail on the first day of may   
      
   Out ancestors sailed on a day such as this   
   Widows watch curtains hung in the gray morning mist   
   While up on the commons a church chime would ring   
   And down on the landing a young maiden sings   
      
   (group splits 1/2 sing chorus and other 1/2 sing chorus 2)   
      
   It's a marblehead morning colored cobblestone gray   
   As long as I'm gone, I'll remember today
