letra de the ship that never returned - vernon dalhart
on a summer day, as the waves were rippling
by the soft and gentle breeze
did a ship set sail with her cargo laden
for a port beyond the seas. did she ever return?
no she never returned
and her fate was yet unlearned
tho’ for years and years there were fond ones waiting
for the ship that never returned
said a feeble lad to his anxious mother
“i must cross the wide, wide sea
for they say, perchance, in a foreign climate
there is health and strength for me!”
’twas a gleam of hope in a maze of danger
and her heart for her youngest yearned
though she sent him forth with a smile and a blessing
on the ship that never returned
“only one more trip,” said a gallant captain
as he kissed his weeping wife
“only one more bag of the golden treasure
and ’twill last us all through life
then we’ll spend our days in a cozy cottage
and enjoy the rest i’ve earned”
but, alas, poor man, who sailed commander
on the ship that never returned
