If you smile at me, I will understand 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does In the same language I can see by your coat, my friend You're from the other side There's just one thing I got to know Can you tell me please, who won? Say, can I have some of your purple berries? Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now Haven't got sick once Probably keep us both alive Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline, let us be Talkin' 'bout very free and easy Horror grips us as we watch you die All we can do is echo your anguished cries Stare as all human feelings die We are leaving - you don't need us Go, take your sister then, by the hand Lead her away from this foreign land Far away, where we might laugh again We are leaving - you don't need us And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm Out of the south over my shoulder Guess I'll set a course and go

“Wooden Ships” foi escrita e composta em 1968 enquanto David Crosby navegava em seu barco chamado Mayan, ancorado em Fort Lauderdale, Flórida.
A música tem três autores: David Crosby, Paul Kantner e Stephen Stills, sendo que Crosby criou a melodia e Kantner e Stills escreveram a maior parte das letras.
“Wooden Ships” foi gravada por duas formações distintas: pela supergrupo Crosby, Stills & Nash e também por Paul Kantner com a banda Jefferson Airplane.
As duas versões foram lançadas praticamente ao mesmo tempo, demonstrando a colaboração estreita entre os músicos da cena psicodélica e folk dos finais dos anos 1960.
