In the forenoon,
we waited 'til two o clock
until the ship berthed at the dock
and we waited some more.
At three o clock, we
waited 'til four
and the waiting was done then
men home from the sea.
Mum cooked a meat pie
sprinkled with tears not
a dry eye
in the house.
Dad brought home some brandy for
mum, he
brought us kids candy and
all was fine and dandy, the
day that his ship docked.
