THE SAILOR'S DAUGHTER (English traditional.) A sailor coming home one night To find his house without a light, He went upstairs to go to bed, When a sudden thought came to his head. He went into his daughter's room, Where he found her hanging from a beam, Took out a knife and cut her down, When on her breast this note he found: "My love was for a sailor boy Who sailed away across the sea, And though I often wrote to him, He never once wrote back to me. "Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep, And lay white lilies at my feet, And at my head put a snow white dove, To tell the world I died of love." So all you maidens bear in mind: A sailor's love is hard to find. So if you find one good and true, Don't change the old love for a new. note: another change on the Butcher Boy/Must I Go Bound/ Tavern in the Town theme @suicide filename[ SAILDAUG JD |
