Lyrics

There was nothing in this world that I wanted more Than to see my Miranda waiting on the shore When my ship sails in There was no one in the world that I loved to see But Miranda, my pretty little bride to be When my ship sails in As I landed safe in the harbor Where the sun lay warm on the ground And the whistle blew and blew again My Miranda was nowhere to be found So I sailed away through the seven seas And for many long years lived a life of ease Beneath the tamarind trees But I dreamed in the night of that harbor town And Miranda, the girl who had let me down When my ship sailed in So I sailed once again through the sunset To Miranda's side of the sea And the very first time the whistle blew My Miranda came a runnin' to me There was nothing in the world that ever thrilled me more Than to see my Miranda waiting on the shore When my ship sailed in I'm so happy she's back in my arms to stay That I'm never gonna ask where she was that day When my ship sailed in
