Gloucester Harbor Shore

I'm but a lonely woman
 Waiting at the moor
 To bring home my fisherman
 To Gloucester Harbor Shore
 A kiss goodbye
 Upon the moor
 I wave goodbye to see
 I'm praying every moment
 That you'll come home to me
 The numbers are too few
 Too far the men go ferrying
 Far not enough do live
 Come home
 Come home
 Come home
 Come home
 I'm but a lonely woman
 Waiting at the moor
 To bring home my fisherman
 To Gloucester Harbor Shore
 The days, they pass
 A storm blows in
 And not a ship in sight
 The icy hand of death, I fear, is on my home tonight
 The sea, tonight, a feral force
 Wild cyclone eye
 Is circling
 And swallowing
 Our vessels in the night
 I've worked the piers
 I've raised a daughter
 And a little son
 How will we manage
 Without you?
 Without a father's love?
 Come home
 Come home
 Come home
 Come home
 I'm but a lonely woman
 Waiting at the moor
 To bring home my fisherman
 To Gloucester Harbor Shore
