Goodbye, little Robin-Marie Don't try followin' me Don't cry, little Robin-Marie 'Cause you know I'm comin' home soon My ship leavin' on a three-year tour The next time they'll take us from the shore Wind laced, gather in sail and spray For the search of the mighty s**m whale Fly your willow branches Wrap your body round my soul Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
There are years behind us reaching To the place where hearts go beating And I know you're last true love I'll ever meet And I know you're last true love I'll ever meet And I know you're last true love I'll ever meet Star buck sharpening his harpoon The black man playing his tune [Incomprehensible] He'll be drunk before noon
