She's reading in the bedroom
|
The dog is in the yard
|
And I just got back from traveling hard
|
|
I've been ten days gone
|
I've been ten days gone 'cross the sea
|
With my girl in a house in the trees
|
I love her she knows
|
But sometimes my love goes
|
'Cross the sea
|
|
Paulette is in the garden
|
It's the first day of the fall
|
Lately I'm not getting no sleep at all
|
She said stay till you're strong
|
Soon you'll be gone
|
'Cross the sea
|
|
With your girl in a house in the trees
|
I love her she knows
|
But sometimes my love goes
|
'Cross the sea
|
The sea
|
The sea
|
The sea
|
|
I went to meet the boatman
|
He was smoking on his pipe
|
He said son you look ready
|
To travel tonight
|
I think he's right
|
|
Soon I'll be gone 'cross the sea
|
With my girl in a house in the trees
|
I love her she knows
|
But sometimes my love goes
|
'Cross the sea
|
Because she knows in the oceans I'm free
|
And it makes her so sad
|
But she never gets mad when I leave
|
