Lyrics:

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 there loud at my window?

Who knocks so loud and would come in?"

"It is your true love, who loves you dearly

Arise 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 raging main

Where fishes dancing and bright eyes glancing

Have made him quite forget his aim
