'There's a boat comin' in.....'

[comeragh]

Can anyone help I've had this snatch of a song going around in my head, can't remember any more but feel it came from a musical. I've tried google but it wasn't recognised, would be so grateful if someone can help with such a small amount of information. Thanks.

There's A Coach Comin' In is a song from the musical Paint Your Wagon

There's this from Roger Whittaker but it's about a ship:

"There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell"

There was also There's a Boat Coming Home.." by Harold Purcell and Joyce Coachrane
