Lyrics:

I Cover The Waterfront, Watchin' The Ship Go By
i Could See, Everybody's Baby, But I Couldn't See Mine
i Could See, The Ships Pullin' In, To The Harbor
i Could See The People, Meetin' Their Loved One
shakin' Hand, I Sat There,
so All Alone, Coverin' The Waterfront

and After A While, All The People,
left The Harbor, And Headed For Their Destination
all The Ships, Left The Harbor,
and Headed For Their Next Destination
i Sat There, Coverin' The Waterfront

and After A While, I Looked Down The Ocean,
as Far As I Could See, In The Fog, I Saw A Ship
it Headed, This Way, Comin' Out The Foam
it Must Be My Baby, Comin' Down
and After A While, The Ship Pulled Into The Harbor,
rollin' Slow, So Cripple
and My Baby, Stepped Off Board
i Was Still, Coverin' The Waterfront

said 'johnny, Our Ship Had Trouble, With The Fog
and That's Why We're So Late, So Late
comin' Home, Comin' Down'
