Lyrics:
There's a light, there's a light
And it shines far out at sea;
'Tis a beacon so bright
From my true love to me;
There's a light, there's a light
In a lighthouse by the sea.
chorus:
In a lighthouse by the sea,
[There's] a sweeet face waits for me;
Whene'er I'm away she waits day by day
For the white sails far over the foam;
When storms rage high at night,
Her lamps are always bright;
She's the pride of my heart,
So steer, my lads, for home.
'Twas many a day
Since last I saw her face,
And gazed in her eyes,
Their loving truth to trace;
We'll meet ne'er to part,
For with her I'll remain;
I am coming, yes, I'm coming
To you, sweet lass, again.
When storms rage high at sea,
Ye-ho, my lads ye-ho!
She waits for me, ye-ho, my lads ye-ho!
