I Cover The Waterfront |
| I cover the waterfront |
| Watching the sea |
| I cover the waterfront |
| I could see the ships coming in to the harbor |
| I could see the people getting off board |
| I could not see my love got off board |
| I cover the waterfront |
| An after a while |
| All the ships left the harbor |
| Heading for their next destination |
| I cover the waterfront |
| I waited all night long |
| In the pouring rain |
| Searching for my baby |
| I was drinking black coffee from a paper cup |
| And smoking 40 cigarettes, yeah |
| And when the sun in the sky |
| Came up early in the morning |
| I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Lord, bring may baby back |
| Bring my baby back |
| I still cover the waterfront |
| I cover the waterfront |
| Watching for my baby to come down |
| And after a while |
| I saw a ship coming down the ocean |
| Out of the fog |
| Rolling so, so, so slow |
| Must be my baby coming down |
| I cover the waterfront |
| And I saw my baby |
| Coming down, coming down the gangway |
| I said from the bottom of my heart |
| Thank you Lord for bringing my baby back home to me |
| I been so lonely, sitting in my room, by my telephone |
| Said baby, welcome back home! |
| Welcome back home! |
| After a while |
| The ship pulled in to the harbor |
| And she’d run run run to my arms |
| Said Johnny, I been waiting so long, so long |
| To come down |
| I know, I know, you’ll be waiting for me |
| Covering this old waterfront |
| Covering the waterfront |
| For me, me, me, me |
