Come back little Sheba
| I hear them calling
| Open your ears
| Awake from thy sleep
| High above
| The stars are falling
| Open your arms
| And you shall receive
|
| The lights of the city
| So bold and flashing
| All of its riches
| Imparted to thee
| Robes of saffron
| Robes of standing
| A road of crimson
| Spread at your feet
|
| Your robes of standing
| Your robes of saffron
| Your road of crimson
| All pleasing to me
| But close your lights
| Close your gates
| I must arise
| My flock awaits
|
| Farewell little Sheba
| I hear them a'calling
| Here is your staff
| Tend to thy sheep
| Good wishes be with you
| If that be your calling
| Farewell little Sheba
| Arise and take leave
|
