She's gone across the ocean to do the best she can
I hope that she finds favor in some far distant land

Well she's pretty and she smiles and she kisses awful sweet

Now she's gone, let her go, let her sink or let her swim

Put it on at evening and took it off at dawn
She's gone across the ocean to do the best she can
I hope that she finds favor in some far distant land

Now she's gone, let her go, let her sink or let her swim
