A Wife In Every Port - Old Blind Dogs

I’m sailin' awa' in the morning, I’m sailing awa' on the tide

And when I return again, lassie, will ye be m’bride?

Will ye be m’bride, m’boys, will ye be m’bride?

And when I return again, lassie, will ye be m’bride?

Laddie, I will wait for you as long as m’life

Laddie, I will wait for you and I’ll be a sailor’s wife

I’ll be a sailor’s wife, m’boys, I’ll be a sailor’s wife

Laddie, I will wait for you and I’ll be a sailor’s wife

Oh the sun, it shone, and the wind, it blew, and the ship sailed out to sea

When she caught the eye of a soldier lad who was standing on the quay

Standing on the quay, m’boys, standing on the quay

She caught the eye of a soldier lad who was standing on the quay

And the storm, it raged, and the cannons roared, and driving was the rain

After twelve months at the sea, he was homeward bound again

Homeward bound again, m’boys, homeward bound again

After twelve months at the sea, he was homeward bound again

And there he met her at the docks with a baby in her arms

Saying, «I'm sorry, my sailor lad, but I fell for a soldier’s charms»

I fell for a soldier’s charms, m’boys, I fell for a soldier’s charms

Saying, «I'm sorry, my sailor lad, but I fell for a soldier’s charms»

«Don't you worry, m’bonnie lass, «was the sailor’s bold retort

«Don't you worry, m’bonnie lass, I’ve a wife in every port»

A wife in every port, m’boys, a wife in every port

Don’t you worry, m’bonnie lass, I’ve a wife in every port

A wife in every port, m’boys, a wife in every port

Don’t you worry, m’bonnie lass, I’ve a wife in every port
