Pleasures of the Harbor

Come and take the pleasures of the har - bo
And the anchor hits the san
The hungry hand
Have tied them to the por
The hour will be shor
For leisure on the lan
And the girls scent the ai
They seem so fai
With paint on their fac
Soft is their embrac
to lead them up the stair
Soon your sailing will be ove
Come and take the pleasures of the harbo
In the room dark and di
Touch of ski
He asks her of her nam
She answers with no sham
And not a sense of si
Until the fingers draw the blind
Sip of win
The cigarette of doub
The candle is blown ou
The darkness is so kin
Soon your sailing will be ove
Come and take the pleasures of the harbo
And the shadows frame the ligh
Same old sigh
Thrill has blown awa
Now all alone they la
Two strangers in the nigh
Till his heart skips a bea
He's on his fee
To shipmates he must joi
She's counting up the coin
He's swallowed by the stree
Soon your sailing will be ove
Come and take the pleasures of the harbo
In the bar hangs a clou
The whiskey's lou
There's laughter in their eye
The lonely in disgus
Are clinging to the crow
And the bottle fills the glas
The haze is fas
He's trembling for the tast
Of passion gone to wast
In memories of the pas
Soon your sailing will be ove
Come and take the pleasures of the harbo
In the alley, red with rai
Cry of pai
For love was but a smil
Teasing all the whil
Now dancing down the drai
'Till the boys reach the doc
They gently moc
Lift him on their back
Lay him on his rac
And leave beneath the ligh
Soon your sailing will be ove
Come and take the pleasures of the harbo
And the ship sets the sai
They've lived the tal
To carry from the shor
Straining at the oar
Or staring from the rai
And the sea bids farewel
She waves in swell
And sends them on their wa
Time has been her pa
And time will have to tel
Soon your sailing will be ove
Come and take the pleasures of the harbor
