I thought to spend my early years across the open sea
With not a care but findin' all the wealth that I could keep
Our ship, she stood tall with 26 sails, a sight for all to see
Not three weeks in, she took a good knock that sent her right down to the deep
And as the sky went dim, I saw several fins guide myself and the company
To a port in the storm with an inn whose sign bore a star adorned in leaves
When the night is long, and we're all full of dread
Oh, where am I to go?
For we're all good and lost, and we're missin' our beds
Oh Lady, take us home
When we've run through our stores, and our takin' is high
And we've nowhere left to roam
Oh, we'll keep our chins up, and we'll look to the sky
Oh Lady, take us home
When I went to go pay the landlady my share
I was struck by the sheen of her copper red hair
And she won't take our money, but pointed us where
We could find the mainland, so we hauled the boat there
When the night is long, and we're all full of dread
Oh, where am I to go?
For we're all good and lost, and we're missin' our beds
Oh Lady, take us home
When we've run through our stores, and our takin' is high
And we've nowhere left to roam
Oh, we'll keep our chins up, and we'll look to the sky
Oh Lady, take us home
When we'd found a new vessel no more than a year
On the bow then, we see that same lady appear
When our cook stepped before her, a compass in hand
And she led us to where we could get back to land
When the night is long, and we're all full of dread
Oh, where am I to go?
For we're all good and lost, and we're missin' our beds
Oh Lady, take us home
When we've run through our stores, and our takin' is high
And we've nowhere left to roam
Oh, we'll keep our chins up, and we'll look to the sky
Oh Lady, take us home
