First Thanksgiving
Lyrics
Pilgrims left their homeland on the Mayflower ship
From the Church of England they wanted to split
Some sought grand adventure and some needed work
They were all determined and from danger did not shirk
Chorus
First Thanksgiving, oh praises give voice
First Thanksgiving, oh people rejoice
First Thanksgiving, oh praises give voice
First Thanksgiving, oh people rejoice
Storms made them seasick and the main beam cracked.
Chorus
Food was scarce and many died, how could they stay alive
Chorus
Feasting altogether they thanked God* for ev’rything
Chorus
Oh people rejoice…give thanks
