Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say
"We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore
We can laugh our lives away and be free once more"

But no one heard them callin', no one came at all
'Cause they were too busy watchin' those old raindrops fall
As a storm was blowin' out on the peaceful sea
Seventy-three men sailed off to history

Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip
Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world that others might have missed

Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say

'Cause they were too busy watchin' those old raindrops fall
As a storm was blowin' out on the peaceful sea
Seventy-three men sailed off to history

Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip

Basketball camp, 12 years old.  Somebody brought a record player but only this one 45 RPM single.  It got played 100 times a day ... literally ... all week long.

LOVE IT.

I was a huge BI fan in the late 60s. This song is commercial crap compared to their first album. Come on folks, let's hear the good stuff:

Take Me To The Sunrise
Leaving My Troubles Behind
Outside Was Night
Yesterday Could Be Today
Reality Does Not Inspire

This was the best live band I ever saw, and I've seen Hendrix, Mountain, Tull, Cactus, Butterfield, .....
