Sailor Boy |
| '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 |
