DONE ME LITTLE
GOOD
I sailed from Liverpool
My fortune for to find
The hardest thing I've ever done
Was leaving you behind
Plans that went astray
Just like you feared they would
The years I've spent away from you
Have done me little good
Though I have seen some sights
Few others here could claim
Some starry summer nights
Some seas no man could tame
Too many bottles drunk
I'd change it if I could
The years I've spent away from you
Have done me little good
Oh
And you look well babe
Yeah you're looking fine
What a sight you are to see
To these sore eyes of mine
There was a magic time
Jamaica was her name
I was flushed with gold and silver
I'd won in a poker game
But ne're a week was gone
For they robbed me in a hood
No the years I spent away from you
Done me little good
Oh
And you look well Babe
Yeah, you're looking fine
What a sight you are to see
To these sore eyes of mine
So here you are my love
With children of your own
I see time has been generous
To you find things have grown
Though it's hard for me to ask
But maybe if you could
The years I've spent away from you
Have done me little good
