    Chorus.
    O! she never returned; O, she never returned
    From that bright day to this,
    But many's the heart had been sadly watching
    For the ship that never returend.
    II
    Only one more trip, says our gallant sailor,
    And we'll settle down for life.
    Only one more trip, says our gallant sailor,
    And we'll have no more strife.
    We will leave this place for a quiet cottage
    And enjoy the wealth I have earned
    There was little dream't in the solemn parting
    That the ship would never return.
    Chorus etc.
