It's another day we go
Sailing o'er the blue
I look to the horizon
My thoughts drift home to you
A young man only seventeen
Adventure couldn't wait
Set sail from home on a fishing ship
Bound for the Boston states
I shipped out on a glouster smack
And fished the Georges Bank
The work was hard
And the wages fair
To the good lord I gave thanks
Although I've had a good life
As good as any man
If i could change the course of time
I'd live in my home land
Chorus:
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since I've been gone
Oh how I long to see you
The time has been so long
If I could get just one more chance
To walk your rugged shore
I'd trade the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more
Sailing o'er the blue
I look to the horizon
My thoughts drift home to you
A young man only seventeen
Adventure couldn't wait
Set sail from home on a fishing ship
Bound for the Boston states
I shipped out on a glouster smack
And fished the Georges Bank
The work was hard
And the wages fair
To the good lord I gave thanks
Although I've had a good life
As good as any man
If i could change the course of time
I'd live in my home land
Chorus:
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since I've been gone
Oh how I long to see you
The time has been so long
If I could get just one more chance
To walk your rugged shore
I'd trade the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more
