Young James he has gone to the sea,
|
And he promised he'd come back for me,
|
The people say, he ran away with another,
|
But true to his word he will be.
|
|
Oh and any day now when that ship it comes in,
|
We will walk hand in hand from the shore,
|
The people will see when that ship it comes in,
|
For then he will leave me no more.
|
|
If false unto me then I'll rue,
|
If my parents cruel tale it was true,
|
And the one I love best, above all the rest has another,
|
Well then I know not what I'd do.
|
|
Oh and any day now when that ship it comes in,
|
We will walk hand in hand from the shore,
|
The people will see when that ship it comes in,
|
For then he will leave me no more.
|
|
My wedding gown hangs on my bed,
|
Alongside the veil for my head,
|
But if I learn he'll not return I'll be broken,
|
And over my poor heart they'll tread.
|
|
Oh and any day now when that ship it comes in,
|
We will walk hand in hand from the shore,
|
The people will see when that ship it comes in,
|
