She says goodnight to his jewels
To his gold
And she seats herself in a little boat
Take a little boat
As she has done before

She says goodnight to his jewels
To his gold
And she seats herself in a little boat
Take a little boat
As she has done before

I'll sing you a song
A song
And it goes
"Down by the shore watching the ships pass"
A dark and a sparkling
I'll sing you a song
Watching the ships pass
Take a little boat
As she has done before
Watching the ships pass

Her song echoes
The captain says
By the shore
Her song
I desire that girl
Echoes
By the shore
And the captain says
"I desire that maid who walks alone by the shore"
He calls one of his sailor boys
And says
"Be good to him"
"Hundred pounds"
"Take a little boat and paddle it to shore"
Her song
Her song echoes
The captain says
Watching the ships pass
A woman is walking
Walking and watching
A woman is walking
Walking and singing

You'd give to him a hundred pounds
Take a little boat
By the shore
Paddle it to shore and bring her back
By persuasion
A woman is walking
Walking and watching
A woman is walking
Walking and singing

Bring her back by force
You take a little boat
By the shore
As she has done before
By the shore
Sing you a song
Watching the ships pass
Her song echoes
The sailor
Her song echoes
Oh no kind sir
That can never be
I do not desire his gold
So tell him
So tell him
So tell-
That can never be
I do not desire his gold
So tell him
So tell him
So tell him
So tell him
So tell him
So tell him
So-

By persuasion
Bring her back by force
Take a little boat
I'll sing you a song
Watching the ships pass
Echoes the sailor
Her song echoes
But the sailor
Took her in his arms in spite of her plea
She sits
In this little boat
And in spite of all the wrong
I'll sing you a song
And it goes
"Down by the shore watching the ships pass"
To sail to distant lands
By the shore
By the shore
By the shore

She planned to sing
She greets the captain
With a smile
With a smile
Saying "Call your good men upon us"
She sings a song of the sailors
A song of the bounding
Deep down by the shore
Watching the ships pass
I'll sing you a song
Sail to distant lands
I'll sing you a song
Watching the ships pass
A song of the bounding deep
I'll sing

Walk to the cabin boy
They all
She says goodnight to him
And his ship
To his jewels
To his gold
And his gold
And she seats herself
In the little boat
As she has done before
With no oar but the captain's sword
She paddles her boat to shore
She paddles her boat to shore
Money seems to hear her song
She paddles her boat to shore
Where there is a women walking
There is a woman walking
Down by the shore now
She is walking
She was walking
She is walking
She was walking
She says goodnight to his jewels
Shore
To his gold
And she seats herself in the little boat
As she has done before
