22 Aug 98 - 09:15 PM (#35684) Subject: Lyr Add: A WIFE IN EVERY PORT From: Maelgwyn A WIFE IN EVERY PORT I'm sailing awa in the morning. I'm sailing awa wi the tide, And when I return again, lassie, will ye be my bride? Will ye be my bride, my boys? Will ye be my bride? And when I return again, lassie, will ye be my bride? Laddie, I will wait for you as long as my life. Laddie, I will wait for you and I'll be a sailor's wife. I'll be a sailor's wife, my boys. I'll be a sailor's wife. Laddie, I will wait for you and I'll be a sailor's wife. Oh, the sun it shone and the wind it blew and the ship sailed out to sea. She caught the eye of a soldier lad who was standing on the quay, Standing on the quay, my boys, standing on the quay. She caught the eye of a soldier lad who was standing on the quay. Oh, the storm it raged and the cannons roared and driving was the rain. After twelve months out to sea, he was homeward bound again, Homeward bound again, my boys, homeward bound again. After twelve months out to sea, he was homeward bound again. And down he met her at the docks with a fine lad in her arms. She said, "I'm sorry, my sailor lad. I fell for a soldier's charms. I fell for a soldier's charms, my boys. I fell for a soldier's charms." She said, "I'm sorry, my sailor lad. I fell for a soldier's charms." "Now don't you worry, my bonny lass," this sailor did retort. "Don't you worry, my bonny lass. I've a wife in every port, A wife in every port, my boys, a wife in every port. Don't you worry, my bonny lass. I've a wife in every port." |
