Blow the Candle Out |
| When I sailed into Portland town, I called upon my dear |
| Her window held a candle. |
| It’s light shone bright and clear |
| I walked up to her doorstep. |
| I knew she was within |
| Her candle told the story, boys, and I was home again |
| I like her good behaviour. |
| I like her easy way |
| I cannot sleep contented. |
| The night seems like the day |
| To sail in muddy weather, it makes me want to shout and roll her in my arms, |
| boys, and blow the candle out |
| When I got home to Portland, 'twas as I said before |
| The candle at the window and my love at the door |
| We let the candle go, boys. |
| We had no care or strife |
| We went to see the parson and she became my wife |
| And when we have a baby, boys, we’ll name him after me |
| She’ll keep him neat and kiss him and rock him on her knee |
| And when this trip is over, I’ll sail no more about |
| Yes, I’ll remain in Portland, Maine, to blow the candle out |
