ON THE SHINING WAY. THE MERCHANT SHIP.
DOWN by the side of the Shining WayThere's a ship on the raging sea;And she's bearing a rich and royal load  Over the waves to me.
There are cherries juicy and red and sweet,)  And when she has reached this sideThe cargo's mine, and the ship returns  To Jimmy across the tide.
If I blow right hard from my side of the sea  She steadily keeps her track;And when she has travelled too far for me,Jimmy will blow her back.
