How Many Stars

[Verse 1]
Captain, captain, tell me true
Does my sweet William ride with you?
Oh, no, fair maid, he don't ride here
He’s lost out in the dark, my dear

[Verse 2]
She drove her car back into town
It seemed to all she'd broke her heart
She called for a chair to sit her down
Pen and ink, she wrote it down

[Chorus]
How many stars are out tonight?
How many stars? How many stars?
How many stars are out tonight?
How many stars? How many stars?

[Verse 3]
Father, father, dig my grave
For I am pickled, I am done
Upon my hand, a velvet glove
To show them all I died for love

[Chorus]
How many stars are out tonight?
How many stars? How many stars?
How many stars are out tonight?
How many stars? How many stars?

How many stars are out tonight?
How many stars? How many stars?
How many stars are out tonight?
How many stars? How many stars?
How many stars are out tonight?
How many stars? How many stars?
