Papa, Build Me a Boat Lyrics

[00:26.63] Papa, papa, build me a boat
[00:30.44] So on this river I can float
[00:34.90] Ev'ry ship I chance to see
[00:38.98] I'll inquire of sweet Willy
[00:44.82]
[00:58.64] Captain, Captain, tell me true
[01:03.19] Does sweet Willy sail with you?
[01:06.83] "No, oh no, he don't sail with me
[01:11.18] He got drowned in, in a deep blue sea"
[01:16.57]
[01:31.41] I'm agoin' away, little darling girl
[01:35.46] I'm agoin' away for awhile
[01:39.75] But I will return to you, sweetheart
[01:43.76] Should I go ten thousand mile
[01:48.97]
[02:03.72] Stars may rule the oceans, sweetheart
[02:07.75] And heavens may cease to be
[02:11.73] This earth will lose it's motion, sweetheart
[02:15.72] Should I prove false to thee
[02:18.85]
