She's standing by the waterside
She's waiting for her man
On the evening wind
She hears the whistle blow
It's coming from the factory
She hears it every day
Her soft cheeks flush
He's on his way
They're going where the sun is shining
They're going for that silver lining
They're gonna work
And make it pay
And she say
"Well
One fine day
Spread those wings
Fly away
Now I don't lie, no
Cold wind and rain
Gonna sail away
One fine day"
Now hope, it springs eternally
At least that's what they say
Boy, it gets hard
To feel that way
When he sees his little darling hide
The tear with a smile
He say "Come here, baby
Now don't you cry, no"
We're going where the sun is shining
We're going for that silver lining
We're gonna work
And make it pay
And she say
"Well
One fine day
Spread those wings
Fly away
Now I don't lie, no
Cold wind and rain
Gonna sail away
One fine day"
Yeah
One fine day
Gonna sail away
One fine day
