the handsome cabinboy

[halley!tzone!dwelch@cs.utexas.edu (Dan Welch)]

Fellow love-hounds, with better hearing than mine:

What is the last verse of "The Handsome Cabin Boy"?  It seems to
be the most crucial one in the whole song, and yet I just can't
understand what She is singing in the third line.  "For 'tis I ..."
and then I'm lost.  Thanks for help from a desparate man.
