[Verse 1] He of the sea, met a wee little pretty maid, Bashful and so afraid, she Knew nothing much of love, that's what I told her of, then came the call of the sea Just like a rose when it knows that the day is done, she sees the fading sun go He leaves, she grieves, as he sails, he whispers soft and low [Chorus] Sing, sing, some more of the maid I left in old Singapore She is waiting for me there by the shore, there's a welcome at the door Call again, call again, call again, bring, bring some more Lover's trinkets for the one you adore, there's a lot of love and kissing in store When you'll return to Singapore [Chorus] Sing, sing, some more of the maid I left in old Singapore She is waiting for me there by the shore, there's a welcome at the door Call again, call again, call again, bring, bring some more Lover's trinkets for the one you adore, there's a lot of love and kissing in store When you'll return to Singapore [instrumental break] [Verse 2] He made his plea to the wee little pretty maid, all with a serenade she Knew nothing of his tongue nor of the song he sung, still, with her love she repaid Far out at sea, thoughts of she made his senses burn, and for her love he'd e'er yearn, she Seaman, freeman, pretty maid, she fears for your return [instrumental outro]
