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

Learn 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 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’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 sun

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

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 sun

An anchor made of

An anchor made of gold

Girl you gonna find what you’re search

Girl you gonna find what you’re search

You have to go further, further

Girl you gonna find what you’re search

Girl you gonna find what you’re search

But you have to push harder, harder

Girl you gonna find what you’re search

Girl you gonna find what you’re search

You have to go further, further…

I know you have it in you…
