Pete Seeger, Ed Renehan - Fifty Sail on Newburgh Bay lyrics

Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
Waitin' for the wind and tide
Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
With the anchors over the side

The skippers all sit on the rail to yarn
Same as farmers out by the old red barn
​The boys in skiffs have gone ashore
To ruckus outside the village store

Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
Waitin' for the wind and tide
Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
With the anchors over the side
Now the wind comes up with a mighty roar
Whitecaps roll from shore to shore
So it's anchors up and sail away
Down the Worragut from Newburgh Bay

Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
Waitin' for the wind and tide
Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
With the anchors over the side

Now the sails are full and
The sloops run free
Beatin' through the Gate to the open sea
There's Breakneck Hill on the looward side
And Storm King Mountain makin' up the tide

Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
Waitin' for the wind and tide
Fifty sail on Newburgh Bay
With the anchors over the side
