Lyrics

Justin Gray was a sailor a captain of the sea
All he knew was a seafaring life
And he loved just one woman, Miss Becky Lee
And he swore he'd make her his wife

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Lord, it won't be long
I'm coming home

One dark night when a storm came and tore the skies in two
Every hand was fighting for his life
But the sea was to claim them and Justin surely knew
Becky Lee would never be his wife

The ship went down, the ship went down
Not a soul was found
When the ship went down

When the summer came with no word at all
Becky Lee did fear for her man
And when the days they grew short in the early fall
Beckys dreams turned to sand

One grey morn Becky Lee walked to the waterside
And she stood staring at the waves
I must go to my loved one to the wind the wind she cried
I shall make the sea my grave

I'm going home, I'm going home
Lord, it won't be long
I'm going home
