The Harbour Of My Heart 1927 'Hit The Deck'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Jun 2005

[She:] Must you really leave me?
Do you sail away today?
[He:] Sailing's great, believe me,
seeing places far away.
[She:] You'd have loved the old days
when a sailor used to sail;
that's when days were cold days
and a gale was sure a gale.
[He:] Well, I guess I'd better hit the trail!

[She:] Then it's ship ahoy
my sailor boy,
a lucky cruise to you.
[He:] It would sure be great,
my little mate,
if you were sailing too.
[She:] Till your journey ends
I'll be lonely,
yet the best of friends have to part.
Only promise, dear,
you will come back here
to the harbour of my heart.

[He:] Any sailor boy, would sure enjoy,
to have you in his crew.
[She:] Oh, it would be great,
with you as mate,
on just a ship for two.
[He:] We would gather speed
in the gale, dear,
and we'd never need any chart.
But for all the storm
we'll be safe and warm
[She:] in the harbour of my heart.
