| She's standing by the waterside, she's waiting for her man
|
| On the evening wind, she hears the whistle blow
|
| It's coming from the factory, she hears it every day
|
| Her soft cheeks flush, he's on his way
|
| They're going where the sun is shining
|
| They're going for that silver lining
|
| They're gonna work and make it pay
|
| And she say 'mmm, well, one fine day
|
| Spread those wings, fly away'
|
| Now i don't lie, no, cold wind and rain
|
| Gonna sail away one fine day
|
| Now hope, it springs eternally
|
| At least that's what they say
|
| Boy, it gets hard to feel that way
|
| When he sees his little darling hide
|
| The tear with a smile
|
| He say 'come here baby, now don't you cry' |
