02:31Avast, me hearties!
02:33The town folks stared and said nary a word.
02:36Then pushed out Mayor Crumb.
02:39He cleared his throat before he spoke.
02:43Howdy! Where be you from?
02:45Avast there, lubbers!
02:47I'm Captain Smith, and I've sailed the seven seas.
02:51Now I've cruised to the west, and I intend
02:54to sail the lone prairies.
02:57Your clothes don't look like nothing we've seen,
03:00but your wagon's the type we approve.
03:03With no oxen or horses to pull the darn thing,
03:06must be the wind makes her move.
03:08You guessed it, me hearty.
03:10But now let's toe the talk.
03:12Till I see what your galley holds,
03:14I haven't had chow for over a week.
03:16My innards is furled and foaled.
03:21He seated himself in the star of the west
03:24and yelled an order or two.
03:26I want fish and grog with biscuit and beef.
03:29All he got was buffalo stew.
03:31Served by the mayor's daughter,
03:33a beautiful craft was she,
03:36with hair like a Zanzibar sunset
03:39and eyes like a blue-green sea.
03:46She swayed with the grace of a schooner
03:49and had the lines of a full-rigged ship.
03:52Captain Smith most swallowed his scuppers
03:55and his heart did a hornpipe flip.
04:03Molly, go take a walk.
04:06The Captain and me has got business
04:09and business is just man talk.
04:18Now, where was we at?
04:20Oh, yes, about that there wind wagon.
04:23A question I'll clearly state.
04:26I know you don't use any critters,
04:29but will the bling thing haul freight?
04:31You can bet your last blinkin' barnacle.
04:34Freight is just ballast, you know.
04:37Her hold will hold a full cargo
04:40and in Kansas the winds always blow.
04:44The prairie is just like the ocean,
04:47only greener and drier, you see,
04:50and the billowing waves of buffalo grass
04:53make sailin' quite easy to be.
04:56Now take the course chartered here on the map
04:59that leads down to old Santa Fe.
05:01Oxen and wagons take almost two months.
05:04I'll sail it in 14 days.
05:08Now, Jake Schaefer was one who could figure things out,
05:11so took pencil in hand with a pad.
05:14He scratched down some figures and added them up.
05:17That's a quarter of the time he got.
05:20I'll write some more figures and push them about.
05:23That's four times the profit, plan C.
05:26We could build a whole fleet of wind wagons.
05:29Yeah, look at the money we'll make.
05:32But they should be bigger and larger inside.
05:35Then we'll make twice as much, don't you see?
05:38Keep to it, you lovers, and stand by a while.
05:41So happens I have the charts here with me.
05:45He unfurled the plans of a super wind wagon
05:48where everyone could see.
05:51I'm ready to organize the Prairie Clipper Company.
05:56They all signed up and formed a board
05:59They shook hands with each other a while
06:02And monies were paid for keels to be laid
06:05Hit them out into quite a pile
06:09They laid out the keel of the super wind wagon
06:15Worked on her day and night
06:19White oak and hickory were used in the ribs
06:24Birch for the wheels, just right
06:32Wind Wagon met Molly each night after work
06:35On the unfinished deck that was free
06:38As they sat neath the moon
06:40He'd tell her tales of life on the bounding sea
06:46Molly's father was one who frowned on such things
06:49You could see he was mad as a crow
06:52He said to his daughter
06:54Molly!
06:55Oh dear!
06:56Get for the house!
06:58I've heard about sailors, you know
07:05Then came the day the wind wagon was finished
07:08What a sight for everyone's eyes
07:11Her twelve foot wheels had hubs big as barrels
07:14And her mast seemed to reach the sky
07:17The wagon tongue ran up to the deck
07:19As a teller it stood in good stead
07:22A tobacco store wooden Indian
07:24Was used for the craft's figurehead
07:27So beautifully fitted and greased it was
07:30She's mighty pretty
07:32She'd move with the touch of a hand
07:35And they rolled her out to the edge of town
07:42Accompanied by the Westport band
07:51Molly got set to christen the craft
07:53Mid cheers and a toot of a horn
07:56She took dead aim on the wood Indian's head
07:59And broke a jug of old Kansas corn
08:04Accompanied by the Westport band
08:34All ashore, let's go on ashore
08:38Now he unfurled the mainsail down to the deck
08:41Then grabbed the long tiller pole
08:44The sail bellied out in the Kansas breeze
08:47And the wind wagon started to roll
08:50She headed down the Santa Fe trail
08:53She picked up speed in the breeze
08:56Down below the directors sat
08:59Trying to control their knees
09:02Cuttin' a swath through the buffalo grass
09:05The clipper sailed along
09:08Wind wagon Smith was so pleased with his craft
09:11He started to sing his song
09:14Yippee-aye-yay and a yo-ho-ho
09:17On our maiden voyage we sail
09:20We're on our way to old Santa Fe
09:23And we're really a-blazin' the trail
09:33Coyote reef, dead ahead
09:37Lincoln savages, hard aboard
09:40Injuns?
09:42Rick, we're off-sea
09:48Batten down the hatches
09:54Stop this contraption?
09:56If you don't stop, we'll sue
10:00Let us off! Let us off!
10:03Okay, you swabs, hold on to your seats
10:06I'm gonna bring her about
10:08He pushed on the tiller and turned back toward town
10:11The sail angled out from the mast
10:13Then he pulled on the handle to straighten her out
10:16Lo and behold, the wheels, it stuck fast
10:19Smith pulled and tugged with all of his might
10:22But his efforts were all in vain
10:24She sailed in a circle two miles wide
10:27The board was still raising cash
10:34Easy!
10:35Now each time the wagon sailed past the town
10:38A member or two would jump out
10:40Like rats abandon a sinking ship
10:43They'd hit running and tumbling about
10:53Here comes another
10:55It's his honor, the mayor
10:58When wagon Smith was now all alone and bowed
11:01I'll go down with the wreck
11:04Then his eyes did pop as the hatch cover opened
11:07And Molly climbed out on the deck
11:10She tacked to the stern and hold to it, Smith sighed
11:13I was hidden, she coyly did say
11:16Well, shiver me timbers and furl me jib
11:20You're the wind wagon's first stowaway
11:24Now you better get off cause I can't steer
11:27And I'm afeard her seams will rip
11:29We're in for a blow from that hurricane
11:32My captain, don't give up the ship
11:35Just then the old Kansas twister hit
11:39With a howl like a wild Cherokee
11:43She sunbathed and bucked and the wheels did shake
11:47Then the tiller broke itself free
11:51I can steer her again
11:53And we'll ride out this gale
11:56He fought the storm without rest
11:58The wagon sailed out on top of the blow
12:01As the twister headed due west
12:09The old wind wagon wasn't heard of again
12:14Except in tales old timers told
12:20They saw a wagon amongst the clouds
12:24When the sunset turned to gold
12:30She'd be a-sailin' in the painted sky
12:34They'd swear on a buffalo hide
12:40Wind wagon Smith was a-steerin' this rig
12:44With a beautiful gal at his side
12:49Yippee-aye-yay and a-yo-ho-ho
12:53We're sailin' along on high
12:57Just Polly and me or the lone prairie
