It was here at the cove, feels so long ago
When we danced in the low evening tide
I was clumsy and brittle, you laughed just a little
And asked me if Iโd be your bride
ย
But you said weโd need treasure before we could tether
And hired your gun to that ship
And as I wept goodbye, you sang out โDonโt you cry
In a year Iโll be kissing your lipsโ
ย
Come on home, my love, come on home, my love
Come and make me your woman at last
Kiss me on the shore. Thatโs the vow you swore
And the year of your wandโrinโ has passed
ย
Though you tarried a while, still I couldnโt help smile
When you wrote of your days on the sea
All the glory you sought, all the battles you fought
All the money you stored up for me
ย
But I already said yes, I can wear Motherโs dress
I donโt need pockets brimming with wealth
And I donโt need a ring. Iโd be rich as a queen
If only youโd give me yourself
ย
Come on home, my love, come on home, my love
Come and make me your woman at last
Kiss me on the shore. Thatโs the vow you swore
But a year and another has passed
ย
It was early September when I got the letter
Your captain had vowed you heโd write
Only two hundred miles from our home on this isle
When the cannonballs ripped through the night
ย
And I heard you were brave. There were many you saved
From the bullets, the fire, and heat
And he said without shame that you called out my name
When the wreck pulled you into the deep
ย
Come on home, my love, come on home, my love
Come and make me your woman at last
Kiss me on the shore. Thatโs the vow you swore
Donโt let another day pass
ย
Come on home, my love, come on home, my love
Donโt forget your promise to me
Iโm standing on this shore. Keep the vow you swore
Donโt let the last thing you kiss be the floor of the sea
