I have no wine to offer you today
No finery to offer you today
My father has passed on
And his riches I have won
I've sold my stores to buy a berth on a ship to sail away
I have no wine to offer you today
No finery to offer you today
No more salt to sell
But shed no tears and wish me well
For I will be a gentleman and not a stowaway
I will fly away to the land where rivers shine everlastingly
With gold and silver when I see Miss Liberty
I know she'll keep me
I know she'll keep me
Safe and warm and free
I will fly away to the land where rivers shine everlastingly
With gold and silver when I see Miss Liberty
I know she'll keep me
I know she'll keep me
Safe and warm and free
