Black Eyed Susan

There was a girl in a cold, northern proverb
She came with me when I asked her to go
All though I knew that she was a captains lady
But he was so far away and how was he to know
So we travelled south
Through the warm gulf stream waters
And she stayed with me in the ports along the way
And as time went by this lady she grew distant
But I grew closer to her everyday
I was in love

With a black eyed Susan
Where is my heart?
Where is my soul?
To be in love
With a black eyed Susan
Was to travel down to the Harbor of Woe

She cried aloud
It was early one morning and he heard her voice
Though he was far, far away
But to many miles, too many lovers
Too many voices down in English Bay
And the next thing I knew
She was off and she was running
Down to the shore
Into the water far below
That's when I knew
I was just another lever
And now I'm walking on this cold beach alone
Alone and in love

With a black eyed Susan
Where is my heart?
Where is my soul?
To be in love
With a black eyed Susan
Was to travel down to the Harbor of Woe

Later that day
When the gold coast was shining
His ship went down
And nobody reached the shore
And in his logbook
The captain he had written
"There's only one thing I'm not sorry for
I was in love

With a black eyed Susan
Where is my heart?
Where is my soul?
To be in love
With a black eyed Susan
Was to travel down to the Harbor of Woe"
