Wait For My Boat Lyrics by The Lost Trades

The Bird, The Book & The Barrel

0

[Verse]
There’s a hole in my pocket, no tread on my shoes and my coat is all crumpled and thin
But I’ll buy you a dress all in ribbons and bows just as soon as my boat cruises in
[Verse]
Tomorrows approaching, I’m dead on my feet and the wind cuts me right to the bone
But maybe the morning brings luck on it’s tide and I won’t spend the night on my own
And you’ll wait for my boat to come home
[Chorus]
Wait for my boat to come home
Won’t you wait for my boat to come home
Well, my travels have taken me all round the world
Won’t you wait for my boat to come home
[Bridge]
So please don’t forsake me, don’t go with that man
Don’t believe what he promises you
Hе won’t love you the way that I do
So won’t you wait for my boat to come through
[Chorus]
Wait for my boat to comе through
Won’t you wait for my boat to come through
Well, my travels have taken me all round the world
Won’t you wait for my boat to come through
[Verse]
Tomorrow’s approaching, I’m dead on my feet as I push through the wind and the rain
Now the tide is against me in more ways than one but I hope against hope all the same
[Verse]
There’s a hole in my pocket, no tread on my shoes and my coat is all crumpled and thin
But it seems that at last I’ve got luck on my side 'cos you’re there on the shores of Doolin
As you wait for my boat to come in
[Chorus]
Wait for my boat to come in
Won’t you wait for my boat to come in
Well, my travels have taken me all round the world
Won’t you wait for my boat to come in
[Chorus]
Wait for my boat to come in
Won’t you wait for my boat to come in
Well, my travels have taken me all round the world
Won’t you wait for my boat to come in
[Chorus]
Wait for my boat to come in
Won’t you wait for my boat to come in
Well, my travels have taken me all round the world
Won’t you wait for my boat to come in
