★ Verse 1 ★
Softly she comes
Boss man, boss man, what do ya say?
I gotta get you alone in the mine some day
I climbed the Redwood Hill
‘Twas on a rainy day
He came down through fields of green
On the summer side of life
I can see her lyin’ back in her satin dress
In a room where ya do what ya don’t confess
Thank you for the promises we make
I know I can’t complain
All around old Cape Horn
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Momma’s got her long dress on
See how that little girl walks
Sit by my side, come as close as the air
Sharin’ a mem’ry of grey
Well I got my mail late last night
A letter from a girl who found the time to write
