Night close in on a shanty town.
Panama freighter wearing rusty brown.
She sails tomorrow, and she's homeward bound.
Head up on a lumpy sea.

I'm not the only lonely planet rider
In this one horse town, I'm thinking.
And I won't overrate or patronize you.

I know we're as different as chalk and cheese,
As black hole winters and salad days,
And I wouldn't like your mother much anyway.
But it's not her I'm taking home with me.

Don't intend to dress you in silver threads
Like some trophy in sublime seclusion;
Won't try to educate or civilize you.

Night close in on a shanty town.
Panama freighter wearing rusty brown.
She sails tomorrow, and she's homeward bound,
And you're bound to come home with me,
On the Panama freighter with me
