Sailor Boy

歌詞

'Twas on one dark and stormy night The snow was on the ground The sailor boy was at his post His ship was outward bound His sweetheart standing by his side She mourned a bitter tear Though as he pressed her to his side He whispered in her ear Farewell, my own true love This parting gives me pain And you will be my guiding star Till I return again And then I think of you, my love While storms are raging high Then oh, sweetheart, remember me Your faithful sailor boy 'Twas sad to say the ship returned Without the sailor boy For he had died while on the sea His flag was held most high Farewell, my own true love This parting gives me pain And you will be my guiding star Till I return again And as his shipmate steps on shore To tell that he was dead The letter that he gave to her These words it sadly read Farewell, my own true love On earth we'll meet no more So may we meet in heaven above Where parting is no more
