I cover the waterfront
Watchin' the ship go by
I could see, evry'body's baby
But I couldn't see mine
I could see
The ships pullin' in to the harbour
I could see the people
Meeting their loved one
Shakin' hand
I sit there so all alone
Coverin' the waterfront
Afterwhile, all the people
Left the harbour
And headed for their destination
All the ships
Left the harbour
And headed
For their next destination
I sit there coverin' the waterfront
And afterwhile
I look down the ocean
As far as I could see
In the fog
I saw a ship
A-headed this way
Comin' out the fog
It must be my baby
Comin' down
Afterwhile
The ship pulled into the harbour
Rollin' slow
So crippled
And my baby
Stepped off board
I was still coverin' the waterfront
Said, 'Johnny, our ship had trouble with the fog'
And that's why we're so late.'
So late comin' home, comin' down.
Aay.
