The day we met
I think you let me light your cigarette
Do you remember how the snow fell?
We watched the other couples
Run boats in Hyde Park
The old songs you sing it so well
We drew a map on --?--'s hand
Then we bid our friends farewell
Do you remember what they told me?
Leave her running, you should leave, leave her running
You should give her back to Johnny
While you go out to sea
Sing old songs on my way
Sing old songs on my way
Back home tonight
On my way, sing old songs, on my way
Oh, how your eyes they said it all
On this old ship I spend my days now
Don't know why it's called the Alba
I used to send you letters
You said you loved the way the words looked
Do you remember that old fruit tree?
You used to watch the couples
Run boats around the Hyde Park
Do you remember what they told me?
Leave her running, you should leave, leave her running
You should give her back to Johnny
While you go out to sea
Sing old songs on my way
Sing old songs on my way
Back home tonight
On my way, sing old songs, on my way
The day we met
I think you let me light your cigarette
Do you remember how the snow fell?
We drew a map on his hand
Then we bid our friends farewell
Do you remember what they told me?
When my ship's come home
Then I'll be with you
And I'll be sure to be to get you through
When my ship's come home
Then I'll be with you
And I'll be sure to be to get you through
Sing old songs on my way
Sing old songs on my way
Back home tonight
On my way, sing old songs, on my way
I think you let me light your cigarette
Do you remember how the snow fell?
We watched the other couples
Run boats in Hyde Park
The old songs you sing it so well
We drew a map on --?--'s hand
Then we bid our friends farewell
Do you remember what they told me?
Leave her running, you should leave, leave her running
You should give her back to Johnny
While you go out to sea
Sing old songs on my way
Sing old songs on my way
Back home tonight
On my way, sing old songs, on my way
Oh, how your eyes they said it all
On this old ship I spend my days now
Don't know why it's called the Alba
I used to send you letters

Do you remember that old fruit tree?

Sing old songs on my way
