HARBOUR LIGHTS
Judith Haswell

Oh, the harbour lights are calling and the anchor she is weighed.
Oh, the harbour lights are calling and I must be on my way.
And the ship she lies awaiting. Oh, you know that I can't stay,
For the harbour lights are calling, leading me to Americay.

Oh, now dry your eyes, dear mother; wish me luck upon my way,
For you surely would not wish for me to stay in Galway Bay,
There'll be seven miles mouths awaiting, you can have my share today,
Dry your eyes do not be forsaken, turn around and walk away.

Chorus

Oh you know that my life is wasted, there's no work and none to pay
I have dreams and desperation aspirations; I must follow them my way
I won't stay and be a burden, on this family this day by day,
To Americay I'm heading, leaving you in Galway Bay.

Chorus

There's a shilling in me pocket, and there's patches on my coat,
I've a ticket in me purchase clutches, as I step on to the boat,
There'll be tears and there'll be heart ache as I leave you all and go
But a life of wealth and wonder, is awaiting there I know.

p.m. me with your e-mail, if you want the tune as well.

May see you at Whitby if you are there.
