Runner up to Contest Sung to the Army Caisson Song by Pegge Doyle Over Neuse, Over Trent No matter where we went The Yacht Club was sailing along Okracoke, Cape Lookout There never was a doubt That the Yacht Club was sailing along For it’s Hi I EEE the splash begins at three We gather wherever we may roam But where ere we go Our Mariners always know Fairfield Harbour is always our home.
Sailors on the Neuse To the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic By Olwen Jarvis Our eyes have seen the glory of the sailors on the Neuse, Start those faithful engines, Let the billowing sails fly loose, Pack food and drink and nibbles, and be ready for a splash, As we cruise on down the Neuse. Chorus: Sail Oh Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club, Sail Oh Fairfield Harbour yacht Club’ Sail Oh Fairfield Harbour yacht Club, We’re the Sailors on the Neuse! Wind and waves and even rain and storms we do not fear, ‘Cos we simply drop the anchor and then break out the beer, We’ll rock and roll and raise a glass, sing songs of lusty cheer, As we cruise on down the Neuse. Chorus Smaller boats, the Ensigns, love to race around the marks, They never even hesitate, even when its getting dark, You’ll hear a yell of “Starboard” as they bravely round those marks, Then they head back for the line. Chorus Power boats they lead us, making waves as they go by, Heading off to Ocracoke they really seem to fly, Use one-six to hail us, switch and answer on seven eight, And just be sure my friends, you have a good day Mate! Chorus. Our Commodore, the Bridge and Board, and every member too, We love to get together when the busy day is through, Splashes are important, to be with friends is fun, And now my song is done!	FHYC Theme Song Sung to Waltzing Matilda By Pegge Doyle Cruising with Fairfield, Cruising with Fairfield We’ll go a’cruising with Fairfield today We will eat, we will drink sometimes even run aground While we’re cruising with Fairfield today. We will cruise for a day, And maybe even for a month Still we’ll be cruising with Fairfield today. To the north, to the south, To Okracoke or Cape Lookout, We’ll go cruising with Fairfield today. We teach and we meet, We even party quite a bit As we go cruising with Fairfield today Check us out on the web. Or read it in the Semaphore, But come a’cruising with Fairfield today The winds may be right, But the water isn’t high enough, Then we’ll be motoring with Fairfield that day. Cruising with Fairfield, Cruising with Fairfield, We’ll go a’cruising with Fairfield, today.
FHYC Alma Mater by Pegge Doyle Sung the "Whiffenpoof Song" From the tables at the Shoreline, To the docks at Northwest Creek, To the boats and sails and lines we love so well. Sing the Fairfield crew assembled With their glasses raised on high And the magic of their singing cast a spell. We're poor little mariners who are on our way, Cruise, Cruise, Cruise We're captains and first mates who were cast away Cruise, Cruise, Cruise. Gentleman sailors off on the sea, Going from the Neuse to marker three Lord, have mercy on such as we, Cruise, Cruise, Cruise.	To the tune of : Sailing, Sailing, Over the Bounding Main By Carol Luitkus Fairfield Harbour's a wonderful place to be The Yacht Club's great, the friends - first rate Such ca-ma-ra-der-i.e.. Sailing, racing, power boating too (the tune goes up here) We have such fun in rain or sun All Hail the white & blue. Cruising, cruising, we sometimes run aground The anchor slips, the dinghy tips But laughter does abound. The splash is scheduled Bring your goodies there (the tune goes up again) It is five o'clock tonite, but it's always Five o'clock somewhere!
