Gloucester Harbor Shore

I'm but a lonely woman

Waiting at the moor

To bring home my fisherman

To Gloucester Harbor Shore

A kiss goodbye

Upon the moor

I wave goodbye to sea

I'm praying every moment

That you'll come home to me

The [?]

The numbers are too few

Too far the men go ferrying

For not enough to live

Come home

Come home

Come home

Come home

I'm but a lonely woman

Waiting at the moor

To bring home my fisherman

To Gloucester Harbor Shore

The days, they pass

A storm blows in

And not a ship in sight

The icy hand of death, I fear, is on my home tonight

The sea, tonight, a feral force

Wild cyclone eye

Is circling

And swallowing

Our vessels in the night

I've worked the piers

I've raised a daughter

And a little son

How will we manage

Without you?

Without a father's love?

Come home

Come home

Come home

Come home

I'm but a lonely woman

Waiting at the moor

To bring home my fisherman

To Gloucester Harbor Shore
