Thimble island

I'm going down to Thimble Island
To find my true love
there.
I'm sure that I can find one
Long of limb
with time to spare.
On Thimble Island.
I'm on my
own down the river
I'll take my ivory needlecase.
I'll weave a blanket for when I shiver.
I'll
stitch a bonnet to shield my face.
On Thimble Island.

You go there alone.
To find someone for to call
them your own.

I've not heard of girls
returning.
It is a murky, mystery place.
I may not
have had much booklearnin'
But I've got charms to
win the race.
On Thimble Island.

You go there
alone.
To find someone for to call them your own. All the girls are rowing there.
Gently down the
stream.
In a dream I saw you there.
On Thimble
Island.

I'm going down to Thimble Island
To
find my true love there.
I'm sure that I can find
one
Long of limb with time to spare.
On Thimble
Island.
