When I [D] sailed [Em] into Portland town I called upon my dear
Her window held a candle, its light [A] shone bright [Em] and clear
[G] I walked up to her doorstep, I knew she was within
Her [D] candle told [Em] the story boys, and I [D] was home [Em] again
I like [A] her good [Em]
behavior, I like her easy way
I cannot sleep contented, the night [A] seems like [Em] the day
[G] To sail in muddy weather, it makes me want [Em] to shout
And roll [D] her in boys, [Em] and blow [D] the candle [Em] out
[D] [Em]
When I got [D] home to [Em]
Portland was as [D] I said [Em] before
The candle at the window and my [D] love at [Em] the door
[G] We let the candle go boys, we had no care [Em] or strife
We went to see the parson and she
[D] became [Em] my wife
[Bm] [Em]
[B]
[Em]
And when we have a baby boys will name him after me
She'll keep [B] him neat and kiss him and rock him on [Em] her knee
[G] And when this trip is over I'll sail no more [Em] about
Yes I'll remain in Portland Maine to blow [D] the [Em] candle out
