There's A Ship - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THERE'S A SHIP. Copyright, 1892, by Willis Woodward & Co. Words and Music by Paul Dresser. 
There's a ship, and it sails to-day, my love, And I sail with it, too; But it takes only me, for my heart remains, My angel one, with you. In foreign lands for riches I Shall seek where'er they be; And if I'm blest with health I'll soon have wealth To bring, my love, to thee! 
Chorus. Oh, come, dry your tears, my angel one, I would not cause you pain; On land or on sea my love for thee shall ever be the same. 
There's a ship, and it sailed from foreign lands; A youth sailed with it, too, Who had silver and gold And wealth untold For his sweetheart tried and true. The ship it sank in a storm at sea With the one she held so dear; And that night, In a dream, his voice it seemed To whisper in her ear:-Chorus. 
There's a ship, and it ne'er returned, they say. From lands for o'er the sea; There's a maiden who weeps and wonders when Her long lost love can be. But they shall meet in future years, From cures forever free. As they sail on the shin of a sea unknown. Through the gates of Eternity!-Chorus.
