Travelling Chest Lyrics - Icicle Works

(McNabb) 

Tell me fair young maiden 

Will you take me as your own 

For I must face this journey with a reason to come home 

There's danger 'cross the deep salt sea 

God knows what we may find 

Armed with musket, pipe and drums 

You'll still be on my mind 

Chorus: As the wind blows, so the time goes 

Take us where we long to be 

My travelling chest 

My good companion 

Though I'm gone 

Your heart belongs to me 

Tell me fair young maiden 

Will you take me as your own 

There's danger at the factory gates 

The picket line has grown 

While you're sleeping in your bed 

My love consider this 

I'll make my weary way home 

To the promise of your kiss 

Chorus
