The Big Ship Sails
Identifier

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
I think the song derives from a very ancient song and uses the word
allí = there
thus spiritually it is like being on the other shore - over there, over there
Prajna Paramita-hrdaya sutra
O thou who art gone, who art gone, who art gone to the other shore, who hast landed on the other shore, O thou enlightenment, hail
A description of the experience
The Big Ship Sails on The Ally-Ally-Oh
The big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh
The ally-ally-oh, the ally-ally-oh
Oh, the big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh
On the last day of September.
The captain said it will never, never do
Never, never do, never, never do
The captain said it will never, never do
On the last day of September.
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea
The bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea
On the last day of September.
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea
On the last day of September.
