When I [D] sailed [Em] into Portland town I called [D] upon [Em] 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
The candle told the story, boys, and I [D] was home [Em] again
I like [A] her good [Em] behavior, I like [D] her [Em] easy way
I cannot [F#] sleep [Em] contented, the night [A] seems like [Em] the day
To [G] sail in muddy weather, it makes me want to [Em] shout it
And roll [A] her in my arms, boys, and blow [D] the candle [Em] out
[D] [Em]
When I got [D] home [Em] to Portland was as [Bm] I said [Em] before
The candle [D] at [Em] the window and my [D] love at [Em] the door
We [G] let the candle go, boys, we had no care [Em] or strife
We went to see the parson and she [Bm] became [D] [Em] my wife
And
[Bm] [Em] [E]

when [D] we have [Em] a baby, boys, we'll name [D] him [Em] after me
She'll keep [B] him neat and kiss him [Em] and rock [A] him on [Em] her knee
And [G] when this trip is over, I'll sail no more [Em] about
Yes, I'll remain in Portland, mate, to blow [D] the [Em] candle [D] out
