Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A young boy rose his pretty face
All for to feel the salty spray
When storms are mustering, they say
I'll come and take you all away
[Verse 2]
I am a traveller by trade
I only have what I have made
A fortune teller too, they say
And I can take you all away
[PreChorus]
Doo-doo, doo-doo, oh, ooh, ooh
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, ooh-ooh, doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
[Chorus]
Listen, listen to him, do
He is the one who is for you
Listen, they say
He'll come and take us all away, he
[Verse 3]
And over there the young man stayed
Upon the rocks so rough and grey
Watching the boy, watching the day
Thinking of how he came to be
[Verse 4]
A young man he, he is so real
And never more to go astray
He is of value now they say
And he can take himself away
[PreChorus]
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, da-doo, doo-doo
[Chorus]
Listen, listen to him, do
He is the one who is for you
Listen, they say
He'll come and take us all away
