We left early in the morning
Headed out of Tom Pipers Bay
I was bringing home to my baby
Mangoes, roses and sugarcane
Well on my way to see her
Before the sky turned cloudy and grey
Now there’s blood in the water
As the Gulf Stream takes me away
My ship, she’s battered
And she’s broken
Danger lies below me in the sea
Big ship sails on the edge of the horizon
Yet they don’t come to rescue me
My girl, I know she’ll miss me
Miss me so bad
She’s gonna search high and low for me
She’ll go searching Fort Charlotte
Waiting for my boat to come on home
