Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl, you've been so good to me
Staying by my side through the bad times
All my dreams never came true somehow
Ah, but things are gonna different now, baby
[Verse 2]
My ship is comin' in, baby, baby
My ship is comin' in, oh
Won't it be fine?
Girl, we're gonna make it this time
[Verse 3]
You can throw away that shabby dress
Buy yourself the finest things in town, girl
Dry you're eyes, we're celebrating
There's gonna be happiness waiting, baby
[Verse 4]
Lord, my, Lord, my ship, I know is comin' in, baby woman
Lord, I know, I know, I know, I know my ship, it's comin' in
Won't, won't it be fine?
Oh, Helen, we're gonna make it this time
[Verse 5]
You stood by my side when things were bad
You helped me along the way
You wiped the tears of a big man
Thinking about to cry
About the things that happen to him each day
I love you, girl
[Verse 6]
Baby
Yes, I know, God, I know my ship, my ship, my ship is comin' in
That woman, God, I love her
Oh, I know, I know my ship is comin' in
Oh-oh
Oh, hardship
