A Passing Ship |
| A passing ship |
| I have found the open ocean |
| Give me no lip |
| The waves roll by as I pass on |
| A snulit sea |
| On the first day of April |
| How fresh the wind |
| Will you miss me when I’m gone |
| How many words |
| How many songs still unwritten |
| How many ships |
| Of the line have come and gone |
| In the good old days |
| May they never be forgotten |
| They had heavy wind |
| Or they had no wind at all |
| A passing ship |
| It is midnight on the ocean |
| Had a real long trip |
| I have been at sea all winter |
| When my ship came in |
| I was givin' up the ghost |
| I think I should be |
| Leavin' those passing ships alone |
| When the sea runs high |
| The sea runs wild and I’m unsteady |
| And I think of you |
| In the warmth of your home and family |
| When love is true |
| There is no truer occupation |
| And may this gale |
| Blow us to the ones we love |
| Another day |
| Another ocean |
| Give me no lip |
| But stand aside as I pass on |
| A sunlit sea |
| On the last day of October |
| How fresh the wind |
| Will you miss me from now on |
| I guess I should be |
| Leavin' passing ships alone |
