WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN.
How happy I shall be some day When my ship comes in ! ’Tis then will be my holiday, When my ship comes in. I’ve no idea now when ’twill be That my good ship will come to me, But her white sails some day I’ll see When my ship comes in. 11. What wonders will I not achieve When my ship comes in ! How many starving ones relieve When my ship comes in ! World-weary friends will never fall When I once get the ‘ wherewithal ’ ; I’ll rend to shreds old Sorrow’s pall When my ship comes in. 111. But do you know that many laugh ’Bout my ship coming in, And oft regale me with their chaff ’Bout my ship coming in ? They say she foundered years ago— Was wrecked in Life’s great undertow ; They’ll change that tune some day, I know, When my ship comes in. Frank Marion
