    They say they heard him cry the fool's prayer
    They say they heard him cry the fool
    They say they heard him cry the fool's prayer
    They say that they just say that
    For oh my love's by the old tin wall
    She's waiting there she's waiting there for me
    My love's by the old tin wall
    She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me

    Some say the rope, she is free
    Some say the rope, she is hanging
    So say the rope to hang upon me
    So say the wise, she can't hear you
    So say the wise, she can't hear
    So say the wise, she can't hear you
    Some say that - they just say that
    For oh, my love's by the old tin wall

    All others will compare to her
    She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me
    Oh my love I've waited here for you
    All this time
    Oh my love I've waited here for you
    All this time
    My love's by the old tin wall
    She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me
    My love's by the old tin wall
    She's waiting there - she's waiting there for me
    All others will compare
    She'll never know
    She'll never know
    She'll never know
