Oh the Glights of Magdala flicker dimly on the shore
DHoly sailor sailing on the Gsea
GPatiently waiting, she walked quietly to the door
DAnother lonely night in GaliGlee

When we'll Ammeet within the Ccircle around the Gsun
Oh if DHeaven were a Clady don't you know you'd have been the Gone
[Solo]
G  C  G  C  G

To Gthe streets of Jerusalem you followed him once more
DHoly sailor, come home from the Gsea
GSomeone some where?s callin' him to a golden distant shore
DFar from the lonely nights in GGalilee
