White Wings

Sail home as straight as an arrow,
My yacht shoots along on the crest of the sea.
Sail home to sweet Maggie Darrow,
In her little white cot she is waiting for me.
High up where cliffs they are craggy,
That’s where the girl of my heart waits for me.
Hi ho, I long for you Maggie,
I’ll spread out my white wings
And sail home to thee.
Yo ho, how we go, Oh, how the winds blow.

Refrain
White wings they never grow weary.
They carry me cheerily over the sea.
Night comes, I long for my dearie.
I’ll spread out my white wings
And sail home to thee.
