He’s gone wandering off again Now once I was a sailor. If my life I had once more I’d take my chance with Neptune’s men just like I done before Though I can’t walk so well now I’d take me stick, I’d go I could make it to the harbour if I takes it nice and slow But then I hear them calling and it fills me heart with pain Has anyone seen Grandad? He’s gone wandering off again I know me daughter loves me and I know the reason why She saved me from some old folks home her patience for to try But bloods more thick than water and I should reward her care But I’d rather die from drowning than sat in some rocking chair But then I hear them calling and it fills me heart with pain Has anyone seen Grandad? He’s gone wandering off again See that boat down by the quayside, she was my pride and joy For fifty years me own true love and I sailed her man and boy See her fretting at her moorings if I could but set her free We’d find a brand new resting place together her and me Then no more I’d hear them calling and it fills me heart with pain Has anyone seen Grandad? He’s gone wandering off again (x2) |
