There was nothing in this world that I wanted more
Than to see my Miranda waiting on the shore
When my ship sailed in.

There was no one in the world that I longed to see
Than Miranda, my pretty little bride to be
When my ship sailed in.

As I landed safe in the harbor,
Where the sun lay warm on the ground,
Though a whistle blew and blew again,
My Miranda was nowhere to be found.

So I sailed away through the seven seas
And for many long years lived a life of ease
'neath the tamarind trees.

But I dreamed at the night of that harbor town
And Miranda, the girl who had let me down,
When my ship sailed in.

So I sailed once again through the sunset,
To Miranda's side of the sea,
And the very first time the whistle blew,
My Miranda came runnin' to me.

There was nothing in the world ever thrilled me more
Than to see my Miranda waiting on the shore
When my ship sailed in.

I'm so happy she's back in my arms to stay,
That I'm never gonna ask where she was that day,
When my ship sailed in.
