    Default Thanksgiving day, winter quarters bay

    THANKSGIVING DAY, WINTER QUARTERS BAY

    A special day at last arrived,
    At Winter Quarters Bay.
    A day of thanks for what we have,
    A time to pause and pray.

    Thanksgiving Day a time to rest,
    From the pounding of the sea.
    Re-reading letters sent from home,
    To a seaman such as me.

    Weary sailors pause to rest,
    On Thanksgiving Day you know.
    The warmth of home pervades our ship,
    In a world of ice and snow.

    Thanksgiving Day, the blessings flow,
    With the bounty that they bring.
    We join together and partake,
    Of a meal fit for a king.

    So every year Thanksgiving Day,
    Takes me back long years ago.
    Thanksgiving Day, Winter Quarters Bay,
    Amid the ice and snow.
