DOVE OF ABERDEEN
(kevin gilfoy)

Excuse me sir I'd like to have a word
If you could spare me a little time
I know you don't know me
But I'd like you to grant me
This one small favor of mine
If some poor soul meet his death
As we are tossed about the deep blue sea
I'm begging you sir to please spare my family
I beg you to please take me

(chorus)
You see I had to sell what I owned
And they force me to go
To a place that I've never seen
So its all up to you now
The Dove of Aberdeen

You should see my boys sir, tall and strong
They can work hard the live long day
You should see my girls sir, sweet and fair
They'll make wonderful wives someday
It's here that I stand with my cap in my hand
And I haven't got a single dime
So do what you will with the likes of me
But please see that they survive

(chorus)

The dawn it here as I can now see quite clear
All the hills 'round this gentle bay
Soon we'll be boarding
And then we'll be sailing
As the tide takes on us on our way
Will you remember our talk as we come back to the dock
My family, my wife and me
And will you give me a nod so you'll know that its me
Mighty Dove of Aberdeen

(chorus)
