Intro: Verso 1: A crew of rowdy sailors were telling tall tales Stories of women, monsters and places they had sailed One Said you all know boys I've seen the whold damn world I think it's time that I go home and see my darling girl Once the cargos loaded and we're on the ebbing tide we'll set out to sea again and on the wind we'll ride The next ports my home port Where the Swallows come in flocks I've been waiting a lifetime To kiss my baby on the dock Verso 2: Five days out at sea It was storming pretty hard The sailor he climbed up the mast and went out on the arm Ariving just in time as the stitching started to fail Pulling hard and bleeding some as he furled in the sail The sailor was a strong man But still he lost his grip Falling through the darkness Hit the deck like a ton of bricks The crew all heard him yell out and they were all in shock He's been waiting a lifetime To kiss his baby on the dock Verso 3: They layed him in the Focsole and waited for the news The sergeon sail I'm sorry son There's nothing I can do The Sailor said come closer As he lifted his weary head The crew began to gather round and this is what he said (spoken) Give my mother my wadges Jack can have my knife Sam you take my tars When I give up my life (sung) My new home is calling boys The gates have been unlocked My baby will be lonesome waiting for me on the dock My Baby will be lonesome Waiting for me on the dock Outro:
