RAYMOND2*
There was nothing in the world that I wanted more,
Than to see my Raymond standing on the shore,
When my ship sailed in.
There was no one in the world that I longed to see,
Than Raymond...my sweet, handsome lover to be,
When my ship sailed in.
As I landed safe in the harbor
Where the sun lay warm on the ground;
And the whistle blew...and blew again,
My Raymond was nowhere to be found.
So I sailed away throughout the seven seas,
And for many long years I lived a life of ease,
'Neath the swaying palm trees.
But I dreamed in the night of that harbor town,
And Raymond, the man who had let me down,
When my ship sailed in.
So I sailed once again into the sunset,
To Raymond's side of the sea;
And the very first time the whistle blew,
My Raymond came a-runnin' to me!
There was nothing in the world that I wanted more,
Than to see my Raymond standing on the shore;
When my ship came in.
I'm so happy that he's back in my arms to stay;
That I'm never gonna ask him where he was that day...
When my ship sailed in.
