Kate Rusby Young James lyrics

Young James, he has gone to the sea,
But he promised he'd come back for me
My parents, they say he's run away with another
But true to his word he will be

Oh and anyday now when that ship comes in
We will walk hand in hand from the shore
The people will see when that ship, it comes in
Because then he will leave me no more

If false unto me then I'll rue
If my parent's cruel tale, it was true
And the one I love best, above all the rest has another
Well then I know not what I'd do

Oh and anyday now when that ship comes in
We will walk hand in hand from the shore
The people will see when that ship, it comes in
Because then he will leave me no more
For then he will leave me no more


My wedding gown hangs by my bed
Alongside the veil for my head
But if I learn, he'll not return, I'll be broken
And over my poor heart, they'll tred

Oh and anyday now when that ship comes in
We will walk hand in hand from the shore
The people will see when that ship, it comes in
Because then he will leave me no more

Oh and anyday now when that ship comes in
We will walk hand in hand from the shore
The people will see when that ship, it comes in
Because then he will leave me no more
And then he will leave me no more
