The Ship That Never Returned - Sara Carter/Maybelle Carter

作词：Shawn Carter/M. Carter

作曲：Shawn Carter/M. Carter

On a summer's day when the wave was rippled

By the softest gentlest breeze

Did a ship set sail with a cargo laden

For a port beyond the seas

There were sweet farewells there were loving signals

Till a form was yet discerned

Though they knew it not 'twas a solemn parting

For the ship that never returned

Did she never return

No she never returned

Her fate is yet unlearned

Though for years and years

There were fond hearts watching

For the ship that never returned

Only one more trip said a gallant seaman

As he kissed his weeping wife

Only one more bag of the golden treasure

And 'twill last us all through life

Then I'll spend my days in my cosy cottage

And enjoy the rest I've earned

But alas poor man For he sail'd commander

On the ship that never returned

Did she ever return

No she never returned

Her fate is yet unlearned

Though for years and years

There were fond hearts watching

For the ship that never returned
