Don't you wait no, by the water, no don't
You'll wait so hard, you'll wait so long
You'll look so far, you'll look so wide
You'll see a boat, but it won't be mine, no
Oh once you told me, told me you'd be mine
And in no other pleasure find
You went away, ah you lied then
It's my lonely time, I never loved, I'm never gonna love again
Oh fair thee well, my pretty man
Goodbye my old man, goodbye my friends
Never mind the tears, never mind the love
First you're gonna look, then I'll be gone
Oh don't you wait, no, by the water, no don't
You'll wait so hard, you'll wait so wait so long
You'll look so far, you'll look so wide
You'll see a boat, but it won't it be mine, no
Oh no, don't you, don't wait, no
Don't you wait by the water, no don't
