The Ship
Ever wonder about ships down at the docks? Where they come from, where they're going?

The ship came into the harbour
Through the ice and the fog and the mist.
Where had it been?
What had it seen?
What tropical shores had it kissed?

Up from sunny Jamaica,
From St. Vincent, St. Lucia, St. Kitts.
How must it feel?
To steer its ships' wheel
Through the ice and the fog and the mist?

When its cargo of big green bananas
Is unloaded and off steward's list,
The ship will return
To the tropic sun's burn
Through the ice and the fog and the mist.
