Anchor Made of Gold - Jenny Wilson

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 I'm sending out the troops

No I'm hauling up no white flag

No 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 learn the messages from the wind

If a storm is gathering

Braid a hat of golden grass

It'll protect me from the sun

Learn the meaning of the rain

Collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching

Haven't been told

Girl what takes you further

An anchor made of gold

An anchor made of gold

Alright

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've got a golden anchor

It will save me so I've heard

No I'm hauling up no white flag

No I'm sending out the troops

No I'm hauling up no white flag

No 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 learn the messages from the wind

Learn if a storm is gathering

Braid a hat of golden grass

It'll protect me from the heating sun

The meaning of the rain

Collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching

Haven't been told

Girl what takes you further

An anchor made of gold

An anchor made of gold

I'm gonna build me a black little boat

Gonna sew a thin white sail

And learn the messages from the wind

Learn if a storm is gathering

Braid a hat of golden grass

It'll protect me from the heating sun

Don't let go

Don't let go

An anchor made of

An anchor made of gold
