Sail Away Lyrics - Etta James

In America you get food to eat 

Won't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet 

No, you just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day 

It's great to be an American 

Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snakes 

Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake 

Everybody is happy as a man, as a man can be 

Climb aboard, little wog, sail away with me 

Now c'mon and sail away, sail away 

We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay 

Sail away, sail away 

We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay

In America every man is free 

To take care of his home and his family 

You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree 

You're all gonna be an, an American 

Now c'mon and sail away, sail away 

We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay 

C'mon and sail away, sail away 

We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay 

Sail away, sail away, sail away 

We will cross Charleston Bay 

Now sail away, sail away, sail away 

We gonna cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
