Ah, Miss

I have sailed the world
Beheld its wonders
From the pearls of Spain
To the rubies of Tibet
But not even in London
Have I seen such a wonder

Lady look at me, look at me, miss, oh
Look at me please, oh
Favor me favor me with your glance
Ah, miss
What do you what do you see off
There in those trees oh
Won't you give won't you give me a chance?
Who would sail to Spain
For all its wonders
When in Kearney's Lane
Lies the greatest wonder yet?
Ah, miss
Look at you look at you pale and
Ivory-skinned oh
Look at you looking so sad so queer
Promise
Not to retreat to the darkness
Back of your window
Not till you not till you look down here
Look at

Me! (Green finch and linnet bird)
Look at (Nightingale, blackbird)
Me! (Teach me how to sing, if I cannot fly)
Look at me (Let me sing)

Alms, alms
For a miserable woman
Beg your pardon, it's you, sir
Thank you, thank you, kindly!

Hey, ay, sailor boy
Want it snuggly harbored?
Open me gate but dock it straight
I see it lists to starboard!

Right, right, here, here, off with you! Off with you!
