A box of matches and a pocket knife,
some lumps of sugar, this will save my life
My heart is full of confidence and my head is a mess,
I got a golden anchor hanging around my neck

I said, “No – I’m hauling up the white flag,”
“No – I’m sending home the troops”
“No – I’m hauling up the white flag,”
“No – don’t need no more water in the soup”
My mama told me this would bring me luck ‘cause it’s an anchor made of gold.
Gonna build me a blacker boat, gonna suit in white sails
Learn the messages from the wind if a storm is gathering
Lay a plot of golden grass ‘cause it’ll protect me from the sun
Learn the meaning of the rain, collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching?
I’ve been told
Girl what takes you further?

An Anchor made of gold
An Anchor made of gold
Ohhh! Ohhh!

Tie the ropes if in dangerous heights,
with three layers of coats in the cold, cold night
Not always nubile, I ain’t no baby bird
Got a golden anchor it’ll save me some hurt

“No – I’m hauling up the white flag,”
“No – I’m sending home the troops”
“No – I’m hauling up the white flag,”
“No – don’t need no more water in the soup”
My mama told this’ll bring me love ‘cause it’s an anchor made of gold.
Gonna build me a blacker boat, gonna suit in white sail
Learn the messages from the wind if a storm is gathering
Lay a plot of golden grass it’ll protect me from the heat and sun
Learn the meaning of the rain collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching?
I’ve been told
Girl what takes you further?

An Anchor made of gold
An Anchor made of gold
Gonna build me a blacker boat, gonna suit in white sail
Learn the messages from the wind if a storm is gathering
Lay a plot of golden grass it’ll protect me from the heat and sun
Solid gold, solid gold,
An Anchor made of gold
An Anchor made of gold
Ohhh! Ohhh!
