How about Fare Thee Well My Dearest Dear - lots of people have recorded it including Craig Morgan Robson on "Peppers and Tomatoes". Here are the words:

Fare Thee Well My Dearest Dear

Fare thee well my dearest dear, fare thee well adieu
For I must go to sea for the sake of you
Love, have a patient heart, for you must bear the smart
Since you and I must part, my turtle dove.

You'll have silver and bright gold, houses and land
What more can you desire, love? Don't complain.
And jewels to your hand and maids at your command
But you must think of me when I am gone.

Your gold I'll count as dust when that you have fled
Your absence proves me lost and strikes me dead
And when you are from home, your servants I'll have none
I'd rather live alone than in company.

And so nimbly then she's dressed all in man's attire
For to go to sea was her heart's desire.
She cut her lovely hair and no mistrust was there
That she a maiden were all at the time.

To Venice we were bound with our hearts content,
No thought of ship being wrecked, away we went.
From London but one day, our ship was cast away
Which caused our lives to lay in discontent.

Our ship was cast away, misfortune it did frown,
For I did swim to shore but she was drowned
Now she lies in the deep in everlasting sleep
Which causes me to weep for evermore
