first verse

My love he is a sailor boy and ploughs the raging sea
I know he will be true to me wherever he may be
He says when the robins nest again love I'll be true to thee
And as we stood in fond embrace these words he said to me :

Do not forget me when I'm far away
Do not forget your sailor boy upon the sea
Though seas may divide us faithful I will be
So in your prayers love remember me
