Travelling Chest |
| Tell me fair young maiden |
| Will you take me as your own |
| For I must face this journey with a reason to come home |
| There’s danger 'cross the deep salt sea |
| God knows what we may find |
| Armed with musket, pipe and drums |
| You’ll still be on my mind |
| As the wind blows, so the time goes |
| Take us where we long to be |
| My travelling chest |
| My good companion |
| Though I’m gone |
| Your heart belongs to me |
| Tell me fair young maiden |
| Will you take me as your own |
| There’s danger at the factory gates |
| The picket line has grown |
| While you’re sleeping in your bed |
| My love consider this |
| I’ll make my weary way home |
| To the promise of your kiss |
| As the wind blows, so the time goes |
| Take us where we long to be |
| My travelling chest |
| My good companion |
| Though I’m gone |
| Your heart belongs to me |
| I’m so ill at ease and weary when I’m down |
| Seem to loose those shackles |
| When you bring your love around |
| Strange as it seems, I’m lost for words |
| When I speak, I’m not heard, I’m aware you’re waiting for me |
