Amerikanlaiva

Amerikanlaivan mastossa
lippu on liehuvainen.
Nuoren pojan sydän on
kuin koski kuohuvainen.
Amerikanlaivan mastoa
tuuli se heiluttellee.
Atlantinmerellä ja vieterisohvalla
heilani keinuttellee.
Amerikanlaivan kokka
on maalattu keltaiseksi.
Miksköhän täällä tytöt käy
niin kovin herttaiseksi?
Amerikanlaivan pilli
soreasti raikuu.
Hoikan, sorian heilin viereen
tääkin poika vaipuu.
Amerikka on lämmin maa
ja sinne tekkee mieli.
Suomi on näin nuorelle pojalle
reissata liian pieni.
Hangosta ostin mä piletin
ja läksin maailmalle.
Heilini jäi mua suremaan
Hangon tatsuunalle.
