1. Suc - - cess and long life to the “G. O. P.” As she starts on her voyage a - gain; Let us speed her forth with a three times three O’er a sun - ny and tran - quil main. A thou - sand times has our gal - lant ship Her course sped o - ver the seas; . . Thro’ win - try gales sped the sil - ver sails, Or hap - ly the sum - mer breeze. . . Chorus Then suc - cess and long life to the “G. O. P.,” ’Tis with hands all round, and a - cross the sea, That we speed her forth with our [1]three . . . . times three! . . . 2. A thou - sand times have her sails been set O’er a car - go of gold - en grain; A thou - sand times may she bear it yet, And a thou - sand to that a - gain! For her freight has ev - er more pre - cious grown, Each time we have watch’d her start, . . With the va - ried cheer that has grown so dear To ma - ny a home and heart. . . Chorus Then suc - cess and long life to the “G. O. P.,” ’Tis with hands all round, and a - cross the sea, That we speed her forth with our [1]three . . . . times three! . . . 3. Suc - - cess and long life to the Cap-tain staunch, May his hand, so kind - ly and strong, Yet for many a year the good ship launch He has guid - ed so well and long. Suc - cess and long life to her faith - ful crew, Long, long may they ral - - ly round, . . And one and all, at their Cap - tain’s call, Be “rea - dy and will - ing” found! . . Chorus Then suc - cess and long life to the “G. O. P.,” ’Tis with hands all round, and a - cross the sea, That we speed her forth with our [1]three . . . . times three! . . .
