well all aboard who come along she said she liked my little songs all the stories i would tell and how she knew them very well but now its time for us to all set sail
our houses lined up in a row two up two down that's how they'd go where she is i'll never know we used to walk home in the snow waving to the people that we know
well we were younger climbing trees across the harbour to the sea what a life there it would be leave this town, just you and me the summer came, the birds sang with the leaves
so on nine ships we went along and kept in mind those little songs promised her i would return with maps and treasures in return for all those stories that we heard long ago for all those stories that we heard long ago
well we bid farewell on our way and i hope i see that girl again someday
