lyrics

THE VOYAGE

I’ve been at sea for seven months
I miss my girl and boy
When I return to see them both
My heart will jump with joy

Signed up when I was seventeen
To bring the world its tea
From innocent to hardened hand
A salty seadog me

From London to Cape Comorin
Around the old Good Hope
Ship biscuits for my daily bread
My hands all burnt by ropes

And now I look across the waves
Confused by what I see
The lives of those asleep below
Depending now on me

A swell of the Almighty
Impending Southern storm
Must rouse the lads they must awake
To keep the ship from harm

And now the boat lists side to side
Our fate still rests with me
Wave on wave crash into us
Tossed by tormented sea

My thoughts now turn to those at home
What I could lose today
I promised you my pretty
I’d be back mid-winter’s day
Be back mid-winter’s day
I’ll be back mid-winter’s day
