The Sailor's Plea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dear sweetheart as I write to you my heart is filled with pain
For if those things I hear are true, I'll never see you again
They tell me darling that tonight you'll wed another man
But if you do I'll tell you true my boat will never land
You prosmised that you would wait for me that nothing could come between
That in my home some day you'd be my wife and lovely queen
I built you that cozy home and made a garden there
And planted too with my own hands sweet flowers rich and rare
My hopes are placed in you, you've been my guiding star
Please write and tell me that you're true to the sailor who waits a-far
Just tell me that you love me yet still longs to be my wife
I'll return and then we'll wed and live a happy life
