A sailing we will go

The other day while feeding Luke, I made up this nursery rhyme. I also included the notes so you can hear the tune.

All aboard the ship my crew,
all aboard mateys.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

Stash the cargo in the hold,
stow your trunk below.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

A compass and a treasure map,
a parrot and a patch.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

Around and round the sea we sail,
around the world we go.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

The notes piano style
f f f g a c c
f f f g a
c c a c c a
bflat a a g g f
bflat a a g g f


You could also put your own child's name in

the third line would be (c c a f c c a f) for a 2 syllable name,
(ccaaf) for a 3 syllable name, or (ccaaaf) for a four syllable name.
