Luck

What bring you, sailor, home from the sea —
Coffers of gold and of ivory?

When first I went to sea as a lad
A new jack-knife was all I had.

And I've sailed for fifty years and three
To the coasts of gold and of ivory:

And now at the end of a lucky life,
Well, still I've got my old jack-knife.
