36. I'll soon be back here

Songtext in

i	And then he went on board

i	and for a year, a year, a year

i	he stayed away.

Jackie, as a sailor,

was one of the most loyal men,

but most he was loyal to his ship.

He was also faithful to his girl,

his beloved Gretchen,

but only until his steamer whistled at the quay.

I'll soon be back here,

he spoke to her on land.

An then he went on board

and for a year, a year, a year

he stayed away.

Even before his next trip

he was loyal in the same way,

because he had no other bride.

Gretchen had the wedding arranged,

but he weighed anchor

and again they were not married.

I'll soon be back here,

he spoke to her on land.

An then he went on board

and for a year, a year, a year

he stayed away.

But then, after twenty trips,

she didn't want to wait any longer

because her hair was slowly turning gray.

She bribed the captain

and he promised her

during the journey she becomes Jackie's wife.

I'll soon be back here,

he spoke to her on land.

And she went on board too

and stayed with him for a year,

a year or more.

I'll soon be back here,

he spoke to her on land.

And she went on board too

and stayed with him for a year,

a year or more.
