For many months I've been at sea with pretty girls who dance for me
But I have never seen her before
She'd her hair tied up in a dark brown bun
She'd send the gentleman on the run
No I have never seen her before
I'll rant and rave and rave and roar
To see that girl dance 'pon the floor
I'll rant and rave and rave and rant some more
I'll rant and rave and rave and roar
I'd send me ship upon the shore
I'll rant and rave and go to sea no more
I'll go to sea no more
My time at home it has been grand
Way back here in Newfoundland
But only for a short spell you see
Look into my eyes
I want to see your eyes
I'm back at sea in one fortnight
The air is cool and the feeling's right
Said look into my eyes
I want to see your eyes
I'll rant and rave and rave and roar
To see that girl dance 'pon the floor
I'll rant and rave and rave and rant some more
I'll rant and rave and rave and roar
I'd send me ship upon the shore
I'll rant and rave and go to sea no more
I'll go to sea no more
