Lyrics:

One dark and stormy winter's night
The snow lay on the ground
A sailor boy stood on the wharf
And the ship was eastward bound
His sweetheart standing by his side
Shed many a bitter tear
And as he pressed her to his breast
He whispered in her ear

It was in a gale, the ship set sail
His love was standing by
She watched the vessel out of sight
And the tears bedimmed her eye
She prayed to him in heaven above
To guide him on his way
And all the parting words that night
Still echoed o'er the bay

Farewell, farewell, my own true love
This grief it makes me sore
And you will be my guiding light
Till I return once more
My thoughts will be of you, my love
When the storm is raging high
So farewell, farewell, remember me
Thy faithful sailor boy
Thy faithful sailor boy


So farewell, farewell, my own true love
On earth we'll meet no more
But we shall meet in heaven above
On that eternal shore
I hope to meet you in the land
The land beyond the sky
Where you'll no more be parted from
Thy faithful sailor boy

Farewell, farewell, my own true love
This grief it makes me sore
And you will be my guiding light
Till I return once more
My thoughts will be of you, my love
When the storm is raging high
So farewell, farewell, remember me
Thy faithful sailor boy
Thy faithful sailor boy

Thy faithful sailor boy
