Ambletown Home Dearie Home
O Amble is a fine town with ships about the bay It's fain and very fain to be there myself today I'm wishing in my heart I was far away from here Sitting in my parlor and talking with my dear
And it's home, dearie, home, it's home I want to be My topsails are hoisted and I am out to sea The oak and the ash and the bonnie birchen tree Are all a-growing green in the North country And it's home, dearie, home
A letter came today, but somehow I cannot speak And the proud and happy tears are a-rolling down my checks There's someone here, she says, you've been waiting for to see Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com With your merry hazel eyes, looking up from off my knee
But the letter never said if we have a boy or girl Got me so confused that my heart is all a whirl So I'm going back to port, where I'll quickly turn around And take the fastest ship, which to Ambletown is bound
Well, if it be a girl, she shall wear a golden ring If it be a boy, he shall live to serve the King With his buckles and his boot and his little jacket blue He'll walk the quarterdeck, like his daddy used to do
