The Lyrics
Mayflower not that good,
Forget the pride
Pilgrim ship as taught, not true
Only 40 believin'
102 souls total goin' to sea then
Speedwell* dropped back real fast
Many leaks were found
Mayflower delay caused later seasickness
Atlantic storms did abound
Mayflower not that good
Forget the pride
Ship of wine**
Separatists cruel
"Strangers" were fools
Sailor drowned- doomed***
All of them God's tools
They didn't care
About hypocrisy
Just life in a new world
1620
Mayflower not that good
Forget pride
(Not a pilgrim's journey)
Forget the pride
Pilgrim ship as taught, not true
Only 40 believin'
102 souls total goin' to sea then
Speedwell* dropped back real fast
Many leaks were found
Mayflower delay caused later seasickness
Atlantic storms did abound
Mayflower not that good
Forget the pride
Ship of wine**
Separatists cruel
"Strangers" were fools
Sailor drowned- doomed***
All of them God's tools
They didn't care
About hypocrisy
Just life in a new world
1620
Mayflower not that good
Forget pride
(Not a pilgrim's journey)
* Speedwell was the second vessel to accomplish Mayflower. She developed bad leaks and had to head back to port, causing a delay
** Mayflower was a merchant vessel that mainly hauled wine from France to Britain
*** A vulgar sailor was swept into the sea on the journey. The Protestant Separatists "Saints" cheered the tragedy as God's will. Strangers as they called the other passengers meant heathen.
