I was born on the banks
14 steps in the ranks
drove north bitter cold
where I was sure to grow old
but I won't die
if I don't try
Blue round my neck for the years
where I had more riches than fears
We'll have four boys we agreed
but at first you rarely succeed
but I won't cry
cause heaven is nigh
I went on down to the southern pier
to see if I couldn't hear
the voice of my love cross the bay
lost in the shipping of freight
cause you won't see
what you don't free
I aint taking it all
I aint taking it all
cause you won't need
what don't need
I've been down many dirt roads
often covered in snow
left my coat at your door
traded these boots for some oars
cause you won't know
if you don't go
I went on to marry a queen
in the summer of '13
we drifted on up to the banks
where we're sure to give thanks
cause they won't know
if it don't show
