THE MERCHANT SHIP.
Down by the side of the Shining WayThere’s a ship on the raging sea;And she’s bearing a rich and royal loadOver the waves to me.(There are cherries juicy and red and sweet,)And when she has reached this sideThe cargo’s mine, and the ship returnsTo Jimmy across the tide.If I blow right hard from my side of the seaShe steadily keeps her track;And when she has travelled too far for me,Jimmy will blow her back.

There’s a ship on the raging sea;
And she’s bearing a rich and royal load
Over the waves to me.

And when she has reached this side
The cargo’s mine, and the ship returns
To Jimmy across the tide.

If I blow right hard from my side of the sea
She steadily keeps her track;
And when she has travelled too far for me,
Jimmy will blow her back.
