For faithful fair weather
Come cary us homeward
For nights in the taverns and days in the glen
The salt breeze cuts through me
She whistles my sordid companion
She whispers come carry me home
Pour a drink for a harbor a drink for a sailor
Whose body's now drift in the break and the brine
If we'll all be forgotten lets drink ourselves to it
pour a drink for the dust and the dirt
and sing with me.
Some love their women,
And some love their children
And sometimes we're loveless so we carry a tune.
And though we may bicker at times you'll agree that
We both love a warm meal and a dry pair of shoes.
Time wearies an old man and she flirts with a young man
But she waits for no man so I'll drink to that too
I once had a true love who's now nary with me
And now just a story I'll carry
So sing with me.
