I been waiting for so long now
going to smile ear to ear when I see the bow
tall sails dipping on in the wind
gonna take a rest when my ship comes in
hard times been my only friend
with a bone in her teeth for months on end
Now, by the Lee she's holding true
with a harbor in sight, her voyage through..
Any reason why I shouldn’t believe,
This is my lucky boat come from the sea?
No one can say that I didn’t have faith
with my duffle and boots on the dock I’d wait
a cuddy and a place that I can rest
is all I need at the end o f the day
So say adios to this body and mind
cause I paid the fair, I'm on my way
