Harry Belafonte Lucy's Door song lyrics

When twilight rivals the closing day

My thoughts go wandering far away,

When I gaze at the skies above

My thoughts return to the one I love

So take me, take me, 'cause I'm feeling lonely

Take me back to Lucy's door

But don't let her mother know

Her mother tell her get steady man

A man of letters from wealthy clan

And when I call at Lucy's door

Her mother tell me "Don't come no more"

So take me, take me, 'cause I'm feeling lonely

Take me back to Lucy's door

But don't let her mother know

But I love the sea and I love the sweat

It's an honest wage an' I have respect

For how much more can there be in life

Than happy children and loving wife

So take me, take me, 'cause I'm feeling lonely

Take me back to Lucy's door

But don't let her mother know
