The Sailor's Plea |
| Dear sweetheart as I write to you my heart is filled with pain |
| For if those things I hear are true I’ll never see you again |
| They tell me darlin' that tonight you’ll wed another man |
| But if you do I’ll tell you true my boat will never land |
| You promised that you would wait for me that nothin' could come between |
| That in my arms someday you’d be my wife and lovely Queen |
| I built you that cozy home and made a garden there |
| And planted too with my own hands sweet flowers rich and fair |
| My future hopes are placed in you you’ve been my guidin' star |
| Please write and tell me that you’re true to the sailor who waits afar |
| Just tell me that you love me yet still long to be my wife |
| I’ll return and then we’ll wed and live a happy life |
