Will you miss me when I'm gone?
When my ship came in
How many songs still unwritten?
On the last day in October
Leavin' those passing ships alone
How fresh the wind
Blow us to the ones we love
They had heavy wind
And I think of you
I guess I should be
I was givin' up the ghost
A passing ship
I think I should be
In the warmth of your home and family
The sea runs wild and I'm unsteady
Will you miss me from now on?
How fresh the wind
Give me no lip
And may this gale
When the sea runs high
May they never be forgotten
How many words
It is midnight on the ocean
Another day, another ocean
I have been at sea all winter
A sunlit sea
When love is true
The waves roll by as I pass on
Of the line have come and gone?
How many ships
Give me no lip
A sunlit sea
There is no truer occupation
Or they had no wind at all
But stand aside as I pass on
In the good old days
On the first day of April
Had a real long trip
