Lyrics Ten O'Clock All Is Well - Judy Collins

Ten o'clock, all's well
Ten o'clock, all's well
Town crier callin', swingin' his bell
Ten o'clock, all's well

Except for the girl with the tear in her eye
Whose sailor had left with a bitter goodbye
He swore on his life they never would part
But he sailed and he left with her heart

Eleven o'clock, all's well
Eleven o'clock, all's well
Town crier callin', swingin' his bell
Eleven o'clock, all's well

Oh, where were her words when he turned to go?
Of the new life within her now he'd never know
She walked through the night full of grief and despair
Crying, "Why has he gone and where?"

Twelve o'clock, all's well
Twelve o'clock and all's well
Town crier callin', swingin' his bell
Twelve o'clock, all's well

She thought of the lad who had sailed away
Not even a kiss when he left that day
She walked to the dock where the sea meets the town
And she stepped from the shore and she drowned
