I fully understood |
|
That you'd leave when your ship come by |
|
And l fully understood |
|
You had a purpose more high |
|
Than to give a little schoolboy |
|
To give a little schoolboy his first love |
|
But oh did I cry |
|
And did I cry |
|
For I thought that those days |
|
Would just fade and die |
|
But every cell in my body has it all writ down |
|
Every smile and every frown |
|
And oh those good-time girls |
|
Oh those good-time girls |
|
That book ft sometimes makes me glad |
|
That book ft sometimes makes me sad |
|
But oh - it don't read bad |
|
I cursed you to your face |
|
When you turned to go |
|
But I see now that you did just right |
|
And I bow to you low |
|
For you gave a little schoolboy |
|
You gave a little schoolboy his first love... |
