A man came from work one night,
And his house without a light.
He went upstairs to go to bed.
And a sudden thought run through his head.
He went to his daughter's room,
And found his daughter hanging from the beam,
He saw a letter,
"My love is for a sailor boy,
who is far across the mighty sea.
I often write and think of him,
but seldom does he think of me.
Now dig my grave,
dig it deep,
place white lilies at my feet.
and on my breast,
you put a dove to signify I died for love.
Now all ye maidens,
Bare in mind,
a sailor's love is hard to find.
But if u find one good and true,
Don't change the old love for the new.
