Kate Rusby - Young James lyrics

Young James, he has gone to sea And he promised he'd come back for me The people they say, he ran away with another But true to his word, he will be Chorus: Oh, and any day now, when that ship it comes in We will walk hand in hand from the shore The people will see when that ship it comes in For then he will leave me no more If false unto me, then I'll rue If my parents cruel tale it was true And the one I love best, above all the rest, Has another Well, then I know not what I'd do Chorus My wedding gown hangs by my bed Alongside the veil for my head But if I learn he'll not return, I'll be broken And over my poor heart they'll thread Chorus
