"Across The Persian Gulf" lyrics

I wish you were a slave girl
On fire I call the Eastern stars
And sailing free on my crescent slough
Across, across the Persian Gulf

But you go dancing in the rosebud bar
And look for love in the awkward dark
And I load cargo at the dock
On ships that melt away

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Across, across the Persian Gulf

You go dancing in the rosebud bar
And look for love in the awkward dark
And I load cargo at the dock
On ships that melt away
