WORDS & MUSIC BY KIM REA BEGLEY
DREAMDOG PUBLISHING (ASCAP)

lyrics

COLD HANDS FROZEN BAIT UP BEFORE THE SUN
ANCHOVY ON A HOOK IN THE ICY DAWN
WE LOOK FOR THE SEA BIRDS
TO SHOW US WHERE THE FISH RUN
SHINEY SILVER SALMON
SPARKLING IN THE SUN
THE WAVES WASH GREEN
OVER THE DECK OF THE BOAT RIDING LOW
WE PULL IN OUR LINES
TAKE OUR CATCH AND GO HOME

ROCKING IN THE HOLD AT THE END OF DAY
IN THE DARK AND COLD I LISTEN TO THE SWAY
FISHING BOATS ALL TIED
HOW THEY WEEP AND MOAN
TUGGING AT THEIR MOORINGS
THEY BEAT THE DOCKS AND GROWN
THE SOUND ECHOS A LONELY YEARNING CHORD
REACHING FOR A DISTANT SHORE
SOMETHING PULLING ME SO STRONG

LOVELY MARTHA LIVES ON THE WATER FRONT
SEE HER DANCING IN THE WAVES
OUTSIDE THE GOLDEN GATE
LOVELY MARTHA DO YOU REMEMBER ME
I AM THE GYPSY TROUBADOUR YOU CARRIED OFF TO SEA

STRANDED ON THE SHORE I'M HANGING AROUND THIS WHARF
I WATCH THE BOATS GO OUT OUT TO SEA ONCE MORE
LOVELY MARTHA IS THERE
WEATHERED AS I AM GRAY
TIMELESS IN HER BEAUTY
STILL AFLOAT IN HER OLD AGE
I SEE HER DANCING OUT OVER THE RESTLESS WAVE
HOW IT MAKES ME ACHE TO SEE HER NOW THIS WAY

LOVELY MARTHA LIVES ON THE WATER FRONT
SEE HER DANCING IN THE WAVES
OUTSIDE THE GOLDEN GATE
LOVELY MARTHA DO YOU REMEMBER ME
I AM THE GYPSY TROUBADOUR YOU CARRIED OFF TO SEA
I AM THE GYPSY TROUBADOUR YOU CARRIED OFF TO SEA
