TEN O'CLOCK AND ALL IS WELL



Ten o'clock, all's well, ten o'clock, all's well

Town crier calling, swinging his bell

Ten o'clock, all's well



Except for the girl with the tear in her eye

Whose sailor has left with a bitter good bye

He swore on his life they never would part

But he sailed and he left with her heart



Eleven o'clock, all's well, eleven o'clock, all's well

Town crier calling, ringing his bell

Eleven o'clock, all's well



Oh where were her words when he turned to go

Of the new life within her now he'd never know

She walked through the night full of grief and despair

Crying why has he gone and where

Twelve o'clock, all's well, twelve o'clock, all's well

Town crier calling, ringing his bell

Twelve o'clock, all's well



She thought of her man who had sailed away

Not even a kiss when he left that day

She walked to the dock where the sea meets the town

And she stepped from the shore and she drowned
