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 Have made him quite forget his aim
