He had it all until the fall, now winter's setting in
How warm the days, now far away, never to return
I spend my days in city graves and the dead just keep on talking
They can't disguise their soulless lives
Oh, their hardships, I keep yawning
Oh, pretty thing
Oh, pretty girl
Tender times, oh, love it shines on a cool golden breeze
I close my eyes. I realize the feelings
Oh, Pretty Girl. Sail across the world
Oh, Pretty Girl. Sail across the world
Oh, Joe he sang for the Queen in Penang
Oh, like diamonds he shone for years
And Joe, he sang
Oh, pretty thing
Oh, pretty thing
Oh, Pretty Girl. Sail across the world
Oh, Pretty Girl. Sail across the world
Oh, Pretty Girl. Sail across the world
Oh, Pretty Girl. Sail across the world
He had it all until the fall, and now winter's setting in
How warm the day so far away, never to return
