[Intro]

[Verse]

When I sailed into Portland town, I called upon my dear

Her window held a candle, it's light shone bright and clear

G Em

I walked up to her doorstep, I knew she was within

D Em

Her candle told the story, boys, and I was home again

[Verse]

I like her good behaviour, I like her easy way

I cannot sleep contented, the night seems like the day

G Em

To sail in muddy weather, it makes me want to shout

D Em

And roll her in my arms, boys, and blow the candle out

[Verse]

When I got home to Portland, 'twas as I said before

The candle at the window and my love at the door

G Em

We let the candle go, boys, we had no care or strife

D Em

We went to see the parson and she became my wife

[Verse]

And when we have a baby, boys, we'll name him after me

She'll keep him neat and kiss him and rock him on her knee

G Em

And when this trip is over, I'll sail no more about

D Em

Yes, I'll remain in Portland, Maine, to blow the candle out
