1   -1  -2    4    -3   4   -3  -1  -1
My ship has sails that are made of silk
 1   -1   -2     4     4    -1
The decks are trimmed with gold
 1  1* -1  -2   -5
And of jam and spice
   5   -5  5 -3* -3  2  -2   3
There’s a par-a-dise in the hold
1    -1  -2  4    -3  4 -3   -1   -1
My ship’s a-glow with a mil-lion pearls
 1  -1  -2   4    4   -1
And ru-bies fill each bin
 1  -1   -2   -5  5 -5  5   -3*  -3
The sun sits high in a sap-phire sky
 2   -2  3     3   -2
When my ship comes in
-3 4   -3* -3    3     4  -3* -3   3
I can wait the years ‘till it ap-pears
-5   -3*  3  -2    -3
One fine day one spring
-4  -5    5    -4   -3   -5    5    -4   -3
But the pearls and such they won’t mean much
-4    5     -5  -4   3    2   -1
If there’s miss-ing just one thing
1 -1 -2   4   -3  4   -3  -1  -1
I do not care if that day ar-rives
 1    -1    -2   4  4  -1
That dream need nev-er be
1   1*  -1 -2  -6   6   -6  6  -5   5
If the ship I sing does-n’t al-so bring
-3* 5   -6   -2  3  -2
My own true love to me
