Lyrics sung by Martyn Wyndham-Read on "A Wench a Whale and a Pint of Good Ale" 1966.

I DREW MY SHIP
(as sung by Martyn Wyndham-Read)

I drew my ship into the harbour
I drew it close, where my love lay
I drew it close by into her window
To listen to what my love did say.
“Who’s there that knocks loud at my window?”
“Who knocks so loud, yet won’t come in?”
“It is your true love, who loves you dearly,
so rise dear love, and let him in.”

Well slowly, slowly, got she up,
And slowly, slowly came she down
But before she’d got the door unlocked
Her own true love, had come and gone.
He’s brisk and braw, he’s far awa’
He’s far beyond the raging main.
Where fishes dancing and bright eyes glancing,
Have made him quite forget his ain.

Hello, nameless asshole troll, meet WaylandTheBard. He's new here. He doesn't know his way around yet, but he'll learn. If he goofs up, I'll fix it. He's a good singer and a nice person. And he's not an asshole. Be nice to him.
