Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Em D
Don't try following me
Em D
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
C C/B Am Em
'cause you know I'm coming home soon.
Em D
My ship's leaving on a three-year tour
Em D
The next tide will take us from shore
Em D
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
C C/B Am Em
On a search for the mighty sperm whale
A E
Fly your willow branches
F#m C#
Wrap your body round my soul
D A G
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
A E
There are years behind us reaching
F#m D
to the place where hearts are beating
A D F#m
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet,
A D F#m
and I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet.

Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon

The black man's playing his tune

Here ya go-straight from the Album:
Hippie
Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Don't try following me
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
"Cause you know I'm coming home soon
My ship's leaving on a three year tour
The next tide will take us from shore
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
On a search for the mighty sperm whale
Fly your willow branches
Wrap your body round my soul
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
There are years behind us reaching
To the place where hearts are beating
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon
The black man's playing his tune
An old salt's sleeping h is watch away
He'll be drunk again before noon
Three years sailing on bended knee
We found no whales in this sea
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
Cause we'll be in sight of land soon
