The Legendary Ten Seconds - The Brixham Mayflower

The Brixham Mayflower had arrived
And a warm welcome was not denied
Lining the docks was a cheering crowd
And I heard that their cheers were very loud

Such a triumph for Upham's shipyard
The ship sailing on when a storm hit her hard
With English oak and canvas sail
Mr Charlton's vision would prevail

The Brixham Mayflower had arrived
And a warm welcome was not denied
Lining the docks was a cheering crowd
And I heard that their cheers were very loud

She'd been launched in the pouring rain
Beautifully crafted with axe and plane
Christened with a gold loving cup
In the harbour to bring her good luck

The Brixham Mayflower had arrived
And a warm welcome was not denied
Lining the docks was a cheering crowd
And I heard that their cheers were very loud

With thousands of applicants to join her crew
The captain could only chose a few

Such a triumph for Upham's shipyard
The ship sailing on when a storm hit her hard
With English oak and canvas sail
Mr Charlton's vision would prevail
Mr Charlton's vision would prevail
