[G] The boats were all set to depart The crews mend the nets for the [D] journey One [G] last kiss from sweethearts and [C] wives Who were [D] left standing there by the [G] sea. [G] One young wife with tears in her eyes Who had only a short time been [D] wed But with [G] others she waited re [C] turn Of her [D] husband the fisherman [G] Ned. [G] She watched the small boats where they sailed Just a spec on the distant ho [D] rizon Then she [G] turned her weary foot [C] home For she [D] knew that the night would soon [G] come. [G] How [C] empty the [G] village would [D] be How [G] lonely the fisherman's [D] wife For [G] this was Ned's first trip to [C] sea Since she'd [D] moved to the village his [G] wife. [G] Some days now have passed since they've gone Was time to return to the [D] harbor The [G] women and children were [C] there With [D] laughter and hearts all a [G] stir. [G] And soon there were cries of delight From the lips of the ones who were [D] gathered A [G] pointed white sail had been [C] seen They were [D] welcomed and hailed as they [G] neared. [G] And then came a sign of despair For the sight of the boats they had [D] yearned They [G] all knew that fifteen had [C] left But [D] only fourteen had re [G] turned. [G] There [C] Grace so [G] torn could not [D] see Was [G] Ned's boat that could not be [D] found The [G] others trekked back to their [C] homes While [D] Grace knelt there on the [G] ground. [G] The story was told of the wind And the storm how the one boat was [D] swept How the [G] men had been lost in the [C] night Then the [D] whole village silently [G] wept. The [C] village still [G] tells how for [D] years The [G] young fisherwoman and [D] bride Had [G] watched for a boat to come [C] in Each [D] day by the lonely sea [G] side.
