My ship has sails that are made of silknThe decks are trimmed with goldnAnd of jam and spicenThere's a paradise in the holdnMy ship's aglow with a million pearlsnAnd rubies fill each binnThe sun sits high in a sapphire skynWhen my ship comes innI can wait the years till it appearsnOne fine day one spring nBut the pearls and suchnThey don't mean muchnIf there's missing just one thingnI do not care if that day arrivesnThat dream need never benIf the ship I singnDoesn't also bringnMy own true love to me
