Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with priates brave and bold?

Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shining green and port is shining red,
I can see the barges from my bed.

Chorus

How my heart wants to sail away with you,
As you sail across the ocean blue.
But I must stay here beside my window clear,
As the barges sail away from here.

Chorus

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light.
Taking their cargo out into the sea,
How I wish that someday they’d take me.

Chorus
