Lyrics

[00:12.20] One dark and stormy winters night
[00:18.66] The snow lay on the ground
[00:25.10] The sailor boy strode on the wharf
[00:30.55] And the ship was eastward bound
[00:36.66] His sweetheart standing by his side
[00:42.79] Shed many a bitter tear
[00:49.00] And as he pressed her to his breast
[00:55.35] He whispered in her ear
[01:01.00] Was any fail the ship set sail
[01:07.25] His love was standing by
[01:13.39] She watched the vessel out of sight
[01:19.00] And the tears bedimmed her eye
[01:25.15] She prayed to him and heaven above
[01:31.00] To guide him on his way
[01:37.16] And all the parting words that night
[01:43.00] Still echoed loud round the bay
[01:49.20] Farewell Farewell my own true love
[01:55.21] May this grief for me till sore
[02:01.30] And you will be my guiding light
[02:07.20] Till I return once more
[02:12.59]
[02:13.40] My thoughts will be with you my love
[02:19.20] When the storm is raging high
[02:24.88] So farewell, farewell, remember me
[02:31.50] Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy
[02:44.88]
[03:31.55] So farewell farewell my own true love
[03:38.00] On earth we live no longer
[03:44.45] Patiently tell heaven above
[03:49.85] I'll be back to tell you sure
[03:56.30] I hope to meet you in the land
[04:02.20] From far beyond the sky
[04:08.20] Where you know what the parts are from
[04:14.22] Thy faithful sailor boy
[04:20.17] Farewell Farewell my own true love
[04:26.15] May this grief for me till sore
[04:32.25] And you will be my guiding light
[04:38.21] Till I return once more
[04:44.28] My thoughts will be with you my love
[04:50.45] When the storm is raging high
[04:56.00] So farewell, farewell, remember me
[05:02.46] Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy
[05:20.70] Thy faithful sailor boy
