Saving my flowers away for you
Though It's homeward
I know I should be
The Summer has gone
And the birds they have flown
On the winds of the migrating seas
On the winds of the migrating seas
The captain he asked me
On a cold winter's eve
Is it married you're intending to be
Is there love at the door
A'waiting at the shore
With a candle and babe on her sleeve
A candle and babe on her sleeve
Yes and then no sir
I did reply
There's no Bonny lass
Waiting for me
If I had but one
I would lay down my folly
And not be gone fishing with thee
And not be gone fishing with thee
Two year ago
There came to the show
A fair maiden courtin' for me
We had it won
With the ring and the money
But she wallowed in pity for me
She said a mariner boy's never free
Though It's homeward
I know I should be
The Summer has gone
And the birds they have flown
On the winds of the migrating seas
On the winds of the migrating seas
The captain he asked me
On a cold winter's eve
Is it married you're intending to be
Is there love at the door
A'waiting at the shore
With a candle and babe on her sleeve
A candle and babe on her sleeve
Yes and then no sir
I did reply
There's no Bonny lass
Waiting for me
If I had but one
I would lay down my folly
And not be gone fishing with thee
And not be gone fishing with thee
Two year ago
There came to the show
A fair maiden courtin' for me
We had it won
With the ring and the money
But she wallowed in pity for me
She said a mariner boy's never free
