Lyrics:

I cover the waterfront, watchin' the ship go byI could see, everybody's baby, but I couldn't see mineI could see, the ships pullin' in, to the harborI could see the people, meetin' their loved oneShakin' hand, I sat there,so all alone, coverin' the waterfrontAnd after a while, all the people,left the harbor, and headed for their destinationAll the ships, left the harbor,and headed for their next destinationI sat there, coverin' the waterfrontAnd after a while, I looked down the ocean,as far as I could see, in the fog, I saw a shipIt headed, this way, comin' out the foamIt must be my baby, comin' downAnd after a while, the ship pulled into the harbor,rollin' slow, so crippleAnd my baby, stepped off boardI was still, coverin' the waterfrontSaid
