[Verse 1]
Old lady with a barrow
Life near ending
Standing by the harbour wall
Warm wishes sending
Children on the cold sea swell
Not fishers of men
Gone to chase away the last herring:
Come empty home again
[Chorus 1]
So come all you lovers of the good life
On your supermarket run
Set a sail of your own devising
And be there when the Dutchman comes
You better be there when the Dutchman comes
[Verse 2]
Wee girl in a straw hat
From far east warring
Sad cargo of an old ship:
Young bodies whoring
Slow ocean hobo
Ports closed to her crew
No hope of immigration
Keep on passing through
Old lady with a barrow
Life near ending
Standing by the harbour wall
Warm wishes sending
Children on the cold sea swell
Not fishers of men
Gone to chase away the last herring:
Come empty home again
[Chorus 1]
So come all you lovers of the good life
On your supermarket run
Set a sail of your own devising
And be there when the Dutchman comes
You better be there when the Dutchman comes
[Verse 2]
Wee girl in a straw hat
From far east warring
Sad cargo of an old ship:
Young bodies whoring
Slow ocean hobo
Ports closed to her crew
No hope of immigration
Keep on passing through
