The Waterfront
Lyricist:John Lee Hooker
I cover the waterfront, watchin' the ship go by I could see, everybody's baby, but I couldn't see mine I could see, the ships pullin' in, to the harbor I could see the people, meetin' their loved one, shakin' hand
I sat there so all alone, coverin' the waterfront
And after a while all the people left the harbor and headed for their destination All the ships, left the harbor And headed for their next destination
I sat there, coverin' the waterfront
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And after a while I looked down the ocean As far as I could see, in the fog, I saw a ship It headed this way, comin' out the foam It must be my baby, comin' down
And after a while the ship pulled into the harbor Rollin' slow, so cripple 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'
