Anchor Made of Gold

Box of matches and a pocket knife
Some lumps of sugar this will save my life
While my heart is full of confidence 
my head is a mess
I've got a golden anchor hanging round my neck

I said
No, I'm hauling up no white flag
No, but I'm sending out the troops
I said
No, I'm hauling up no white flag 
Oh, Don't need more water in the soup
My mama told me this would bring me luck
Cause it's an anchor made of gold

I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And gonna lear the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering
I'm gonna braid a hat of golden grass
It will protect me from the sun
I'm gonna learn the meaning of the rain
Collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching for?
I haven't been told
Girl what takes you further?
An anchor made of gold
An anchor made of gold

Tighten the ropes when in dangerous heights
Wear three layers of coats in the cold cold night
I know I will survive I am no baby bird
I'v got a golden anchor
It will save me
So I've heard

I said
No, I'm hauling up no white flag
No, but I'm sending out the troops
I said
No, I'm hauling up no white flag 
Oh, Don't need more water in the soup
My mama told me this would bring me luck
Cause it's an anchor made of gold

I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And gonna lear the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering
I'm gonna braid a hat of golden grass
It will protect me from the heat and the sun
I'm gonna learn the meaning of the rain
Collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching for?
I haven't been told
Girl what takes you further?
An anchor made of gold
An anchor made of gold
