[verse 1]
as i pass by a willow tree, willow tree
that willow leaf blew down on me
i picked it up, it would not break
i passed my love, he would not speak

[verse 2]
oh, speak young man, and don’t be shy, be shy
for i’m the girl can’t pass you by
for friends we met and friends we’ll part
you’ll take my hand but not my heart

[verse 3]
i wished your bosom were of glass, of glass
so i could view it through and through
just to view the secrets of your heart
if i’d love one, i can’t love two

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
oh, give me back to the one i love, i love
oh, give, oh, give him back to me
if i only have that one i love
how happy, happy more i’d be
[verse 5]
my love he is a sailor boy, sailor boy
he sails the ocean through and through
and when he gets so far away
he hardly thinks no more of me

[verse 6]
so give, oh, give him back to me, to me
oh, give, oh, give him back to me
if i only have that one i love
how happy, happy more i’d be

[outro]
i see the tall ships sailing on the ocean
they’re just like the pretty girls when they get the notion
i see the tall ships sailing on the ocean
