The Ballad of Bobby Grey Lyrics

They ran out of daylight the trail had gone cold

A hand on her shoulder was no comfort at all

Nobody knows what happened that day

Or what became of old Bobby Grey

Down by the water down by the sea

I hear her daughter calling to me

Somewhere in the darkness oh where she lay

Down in the water lies old Bobby Grey

Oh every year now same place the same time

She goes to the pier where they said their goodbyes

Down by the harbour where the children play

She wrapped her arms 'round him and he sailed away

Now some say they've seen her sail on the horizon

But I only see her when I close my eyes

Deep in my heart I think I've always known

That Bobby won't every find her way back home

Down by the water down by the sea

I hear her daughter calling to me

Somewhere in the darkness oh where she lay

Down in the water lies old Bobby Grey

Down by the water down by the sea

I hear her daughter calling to me

Somewhere in the darkness oh where she lay

Down in the water

Down in the water

Down in the water

Down in the water

Lies old Bobby Grey
