Her belly began to swell
Couldn't hide she was carrying
So Eli resolved his tides
And asked her to marry him
By June came bursting
A Hale and healthy daughter
And Ada would bring her in
To town to flaunt her
The future was bright and glistening
Eli soon became
A true and doting father
Elise, lust like him
Grew to love the water
Every now and then
He'd take her to the boat docks
And joke with the sailors
She'll soon have your jobs
The future was bright and glistening
Eli and Ada had their daughter far too young
And that daughter, well she died before she could raise her son
So Ada took the boy in to rear as her own
All while Eli, he spent more time avoiding going home
Everyone remarked he looked just like his mother
As if when she left she sent back another
And that's why Eli resented the kid
Though you'd never hear him admit
The boy became his own man carved a path away from his grandfather
And rebuked building ships
Formed a heathy distrust of the water
Everyone remarked how he was nothing like his mother
As if when she left there'd never be another
And that's why Eli resented the kid
Though you'd never hear him admit
No you'd never hear him admit
That he always resented the kid
