Stormy Winter’s Night (Sailorboy)

It was a stormy winter’s night, the snow lay on the ground,
A sailorboy stood on the quay, his ship was out-ward bound,
His sweetheart standing by his side, shed many a bitter tear,
And as he pressed her tho his breast, he whispered in her ear.
 
Refrein
Farewell, farewell, my own true love,
This parting gives me pain,
You’ll be my own true guiding star,
Till i return again.
My thoughts will ever be of you,
When storms are raging high,
Farewell, farewell, remember me,
Your faithful sailor boy!
 
‘T was in a gale, the ship set sail, his sweetheart standing by,
She watched the ship for out of sight, till tears had dimmed her eyes,
She prayed to God in heaven above, to guide him on his way,
And then those parting words she heard, an echoing over the bay.
 
Refrein
 
But sad to say, the ship returned, without the sailerboy.
He Lost his life far out at sea, the flag wast half-mast high,
And when his shipmates came ashore, they told her he was dead,
In a letter that he wrote to her, the last lines sadly said;
