Sweet Anne |
I am a young fellow who sails a salt sea |
Byhearted wherever I roam |
Until thine sweet Anne from the town literally |
And now I think only of home |
When I am out on the ocean there far |
I dream that I am holding her tight |
For her I would raid the moon and the stars |
Just to lie in her arms through the night |
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle |
I’d fly to my love on the shore |
And never again would I leave her |
For she is the girl I adore |
We married that spring and contented where they |
As only true lovers can be |
But as captain did call |
That he had to obey |
And return one last time to the sea |
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle |
I’d fly to my love on the shore |
And never again would I leave her |
For she is the girl I adore |
A storm it is raging |
The sails are all torn |
Our ship it is far from the land |
I greave from my life |
Though I face death with scorn |
But I greave ten times more for sweet Anne |
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle |
I’d fly to my love on the shore |
And never again would I leave her |
For she is the girl I adore |
Sometimes in the night |
She’ll go down to the sea |
Call out his name from the shore |
Its been many long years |
But she waits faithfully |
For her lover returned nevermore |
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle |
I’d fly to my love on the shore |
And never again would I leave her |
For she is the girl I adore |
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle |
I’d fly to my love on the shore |
And never again would I leave her |
For she is the girl I adore |
