Blow The Candle Out by The Kingston Trio
Blow The Candle Out
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
Em
When I sailed into Portland town, I called upon my dear
Em
Her window held a candle, it's light shone bright and clear
G Em
I walked up to her doorstep, I knew she was within
D Em
Her candle told the story, boys, and I was home again
[Verse]
Em
I like her good behaviour, I like her easy way
Em
I cannot sleep contented, the night seems like the day
G Em
To sail in muddy weather, it makes me want to shout
D Em
And roll her in my arms, boys, and blow the candle out
[Verse]
Em
When I got home to Portland, 'twas as I said before
Em
The candle at the window and my love at the door
G Em
We let the candle go, boys, we had no care or strife
D Em
We went to see the parson and she became my wife
[Verse]
Em
And when we have a baby, boys, we'll name him after me
Em
She'll keep him neat and kiss him and rock him on her knee
G Em
And when this trip is over, I'll sail no more about
D Em
Yes, I'll remain in Portland, Maine, to blow the candle out
