Tell the tale of the jewess and the mandarin chinese boy He led her down from her gilded canopy of cloth. And through her blindfold she could make out the figures there before her And how the air was thick with incense, cardamom and myrrh

We set to sail on a clipper that's bound for South Australia The weather's warm there, the natives are dark and nubile. But if you listen, quiet, you can hear the footsteps on the cross-trees The ghosts of sailors passed, their spectral bodies clinging to the shrouds.
So goodnight, boys, goodnight Say goodnight, boys, goodnight
