One dark and stormy winters night The snow lay on the ground A sailor boy stood on the wharf And the ship was eastward bound His sweetheart standing by his side Shed many a bitter tear And as he pressed her to his breast He whispered in her ear It was in a gale the ship set sail His love was standing by She watched the vessel out of sight And the tears bedimmed her eye She prayed to him and heaven above To guide him on his way And all the parting words that night Still echoed round the bay Farewell Farewell my own true love This grief it makes me sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be of you my love When the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy So farewell farewell my own true love On earth we meet no more But we shall meet in heaven above On that eternal shore I hope to meet you in the land The land beyond the sky Where you'll no more be parted from Thy faithful sailor boy Farewell, farewell my own true love This grief it makes me sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be with you my love When the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me My faithful sailor boy, my faithful sailor boy My faithful sailor boy
