"Look up, Willie, baby darling,
Father'll surely come to-night,
For he told me he'd be sailing
Up the bay at candle light.
Now the lights are brightly shining
All along the rocky shore,
And my own is in the window,
Come my husband, I implore!
Father'll surely come to-night,
For he told me he'd be sailing
Up the bay at candle light.
Now the lights are brightly shining
All along the rocky shore,
And my own is in the window,
Come my husband, I implore!
What is that? Oh! hark, my baby!
Hear that step upon the stone;
God be praised! my darling Willie,
We'll no longer be alone.
See him baby; oh my husband!
O, my love, my joy, my life."
On the broad and loving bosom
Sank the thankful fisher's wife.
Hear that step upon the stone;
God be praised! my darling Willie,
We'll no longer be alone.
See him baby; oh my husband!
O, my love, my joy, my life."
On the broad and loving bosom
Sank the thankful fisher's wife.
And the baby ceased its moaning,
Smiled, and laid its tiny hand
On the bowed head of the mother,
Happiest woman in the land.
"I have kept my promise, Jennie,
Many barks went down to-night,
But my own came safely sailing
Up the bay at candle light."
Smiled, and laid its tiny hand
On the bowed head of the mother,
Happiest woman in the land.
"I have kept my promise, Jennie,
Many barks went down to-night,
But my own came safely sailing
Up the bay at candle light."
