She's reading in the bedroom The dog is in the yard And i just got back from traveling hard I've been ten days gone I've been ten days gone cross the sea With my girl in a house in the trees I love her she knows but Sometimes my love goes cross the sea Paulette is in the garden It's the fist days of the fall Lately i'm not getting no sleep at all And she said you stay till you're strong Soon you'll be be gone cross the sea With your girl in a house in the trees I love her she knows but Sometimes my love goes cross the sea The sea (x4) I went to meet the board man He was smoking on his pipe Said son you look ready to travel tonight I think he's right Soon i'll be gone cross the sea With my girl in a house in the trees I love her she knows but Sometimes my love goes cross the sea 'cause she knows in the oceans i'm free It makes her so sad But she never gets mad at me
