作词 : Traditional 作曲 : Traditional Our captain calls all hands, we sail tomorrow Leaving these poor girls behind, in grief and sorrow Dry up your bridy tears and seize your weeping And happy we shall be at our next meeting Oh I’ll roll you in my arms, my dearest jewel So stay at home with me and don’t be cruel What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers When you could stay at home free from all dangers When I had gold in store, you did invite me But now I’m low and poor, you mean to slight me She fell down on the floor like one that was dying This house was full of grief, crying and sighing You courted me a while just to deceive me But now my heart you won, you mean to leave me I’ll put no trust in men, not my own brother So maids you do would love, love one another Farewell my dearest friends, father and mother I am your only child, I have no brother It’s in vain to weep for me, for I am going To everlasting joy and fountains flowing
