A thousand nights I haven't slept a thousands nights I've cried.
A gypsy rover I have been. I hope my love's still waiting for me.
I'll be coming home real soon if the wind is blowing right.
So get your rest we'll raise the sail tomorrow we'll be gone.
Row Row Row until you see that lighthouse boys.
Row Row Row a guinea in your fist I'll give ya.
Row Row Row keep it on the straight and narrow.
Row Row Row until she's in my loving arms.
Row Row Row
She took my flower, kissed it twice, and softly said to me
I'll keep this flower by my breast. I'll be thinking of you constantly.
So off into the world I went but now I'm homeward bound.
Absence made this heart grow fond, now never will I leave your side.
Row Row Row until you see that lighthouse boys.
Row Row Row a guinea in your fist I'll give ya.
Row Row Row keep it on the straight and narrow.
Row Row Row until she's in my loving arms.
Row Row Row
Across the water I would walk to find my sweet Coleen.
For now she's just a memory pure of crystal bright of green.
So off in to the world I went but now I homeward bound
Absence made my heart grow fond, now never will I leave your side.
Row Row Row until you see that lighthouse boys.
Row Row Row a guinea in your fist I'll give ya.
Row Row Row keep it on the straight and narrow.
Row Row Row until she's in my loving arms.
Row Row Row |
