[00:13.341]When I sailed into Portland town
[00:16.542]I called upon my dear
[00:19.728]Her window held a candle
[00:23.189]It's light shone bright and clear
[00:26.164]I walked up to her doorstep
[00:29.521]I knew she was within
[00:32.781]Her candle told the story, boys
[00:36.283]And I was home again
[00:47.482]I like her good behaviour
[00:50.466]I like her easy way
[00:54.113]I cannot sleep contented
[00:57.244]The night seems like the day
[01:00.452]To sail in muddy weather
[01:03.683]It makes me want to shout
[01:06.942]And roll her in my arms, boys
[01:10.742]And blow the candle out
[01:21.976]When I got home to Portland
[01:24.838]'T was as I said before
[01:28.321]The candle at the window
[01:31.414]And my love at the door
[01:34.696]We let the candle go, boys
[01:38.196]We had no care or strife
[01:41.378]We went to see the parson
[01:44.754]And she became my wife
[01:59.624]And when we have a baby, boys
[02:02.966]We'll name him after me
[02:06.194]She'll keep him neat and kiss him
[02:09.411]And rock him on her knee
[02:12.673]And when this trip is over
[02:16.001]I'll sail no more about
[02:19.152]Yes, I'll remain in Portland, Maine
[02:22.912]To blow the candle out

When I sailed into Portland town
I called upon my dear
Her window held a candle
It's light shone bright and clear
I walked up to her doorstep
I knew she was within
Her candle told the story, boys
And I was home again
I like her good behaviour
I like her easy way
I cannot sleep contented
The night seems like the day
To sail in muddy weather
It makes me want to shout
And roll her in my arms, boys
And blow the candle out
When I got home to Portland
'T was as I said before
The candle at the window
And my love at the door
We let the candle go, boys
We had no care or strife
We went to see the parson
And she became my wife
And when we have a baby, boys
We'll name him after me
She'll keep him neat and kiss him
And rock him on her knee
And when this trip is over
I'll sail no more about
Yes, I'll remain in Portland, Maine
To blow the candle out
