I Drew My Ship

guitar chords lyrics

Colin Meloy

I drew my ship into the harbor
I drew it up where my true love lay
I drew it close by to her window

To listen to what my love did say
"Who's there that knocks loud at my window?
Who's there that knocks and would come in?"
"It is your true love, who loves you dearly
And rise, dear love, and let him in"
Then slowly, slowly got she up
And slowly, slowly came she down
But before she got her door unlocked
Her true love had both come and gone
He's brisk and bold, he's far away
He's far beyond yon ranging main
Where fishes dancing and bright eyes glancing

He's brisk and bold, he's far away
He's far beyond yon ranging main
Where fishes dancing and bright eyes glancing
Have made him quite forget his aim
