A golden comb for golden hair, And milk-white pearls for a neck as fair;
 * And silver chains, and all for me,
 * The day my ship comes home from sea!

O silken 'broideries, green and blue, And wrought with crimson thro' and thro',
 * With coral and amber; all for me,
 * The day my ship comes home from sea!"

And where is the good ship sailing from That brings these brave things safely home?
 * And by what name do you hail her free,
 * And who is her captain on the sea?"

My ship comes sailing from the West, And her name is called 'The Sailor's Rest';
 * And the bravest man of all her crew,
 * Her captain, is my lover true."
