Well, I've roamed about this Earth
With just a suitcase in my hand
And I've met some bog-eyed Joes
I've met the blessed, I've met the damned
But of all the strange, strange creatures
In the air, at sea, on land
Oh, my girl, my girl
My precious girl
I love you, you understand?
So reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
'Cause my body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
No, no
♪
I have wandered
I have rambled
I have crossed this crowded sphere
And I've seen a mass of problems
That are long to disappear
And now all I have's this anguished heart
For you have vanished too
Oh, my girl, my girl
My precious girl
Just what is this man to do?
So reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
'Cause my body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Yeah, reel me in
My precious girl
Come on, take me home
'Cause my body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
No, no (Huh!)
♪
Well, you took me in
You stole my heart
I cannot roam no more
Because love, it stays within you
It doesn't wash up on the shore
And a fighting man forgets each cut
Each knock, each bruise, each fall
But a fighting man cannot forget
Why his love don't roam no more
Oh, reel me in
My precious girl
Come on, take me home
'Cause my body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Yeah, reel me in
My precious girl
Come on, take me home
'Cause my body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Yeah, walk with me
My love, my love
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far
Oh, you know, my love?
You are, you are
You are my shining star
Walk with me
Oh, my love
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far
Oh, you know, my love?
You are, you are
You are my shining star
You are, yeah!
Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body is tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam
