Blow the Candle Out (Original Mix)

Blow the Candle Out (Original Mix) - The Kingston Trio

When I sailed into Portland town I called upon my dear

Her window held a candle It's light shone bright and clear

I walked up to her doorstep I knew she was within

Her candle told the story boys and I was home again

I like her good behaviour I like her easy way

I cannot sleep contented The night seems like the day

To sail in muddy weather it makes me want to shout

And roll her in my arms boys and blow the candle out

When I got home to Portland twice as I said before

The candle at the window and my love at the door

We let the candle go boys We had no care or strife

We went to see the parson and she became my wife

And when we have a baby boys we'll name him after me

She'll keep him neat and kiss him

And rock him on her knee

And when this trip is over

I'll sail no more about

Yes I'll remain in Portland Maine

To blow the candle out
