1
I cover the waterfront
2
Watchin' the ship go by
3
I could see everybody's baby
4
But I couldn't see mine
5
I could see the ships pullin' in
6
To the harbor
7
I could see the people
8
Meeting their loved one
9
Shakin' hand
10
I sat there
11
So all alone
12
Coverin' the waterfront
13
And after a while
14
All the people
15
Left the harbor
16
And headed for their destination
17
All the ships
18
Left the harbor
19
And headed for their next destination
20
I sat there
21
Coverin' the waterfront
22
And after a while
23
I looked down the ocean
24
As far as I could see - in the fog
25
I saw a ship
26
It headed this way
27
Comin' out the foam
28
It must be my baby
29
Comin' down
30
And after a while
31
The ship pulled into the harbor
32
Rollin' slow
33
So triple (?)
34
And my baby
35
Stepped off board
36
I was still
37
Coverin' the waterfront
38
Said "Johnny,
39
Our ship had trouble - with the fog
40
And that's why we're so late
41
So late
42
Comin' home
43
Comin' down"
