Hi,

Compare Len Graham's stanza:

For after dawning, there comes a morning
And after morning there comes a day,
And after one love there comes another
We need not hold them that will [go] away.

to stanza 11 below. At the end she commits suicide by plunging into the sea.

E. I WILL SET MY GOOD SHIP IN ORDER- Sung by Miss Kate Mitchell, collected by Gavin Grieg, c. 1910.

1. I will set my good ship in order,
And I'll sail far across the sea,
I'll sail far over to yon border
To see if my love minds on me.

2. I sail-ed east and I sail-ed west,
And I sail-ed far across the main,
I sail-ed on to my true love's window,
And knocked loudly and fain be in.

3. Fa's[1] that at my wee window,
That knocks sae loud and fain be in,
Tis I, it is yer ain dear Johnnie,
Arise, arise love and lat me in.

4. As few lads have I withoot ye,
And as few do I lat in,
But unless ye be my ain dear Johnnie
And I some doot that ye're nae him.

5 Arise, arise go ask your father,
If he will let you my bride be,
If he denies thee, come back and tell me,
For it's be the last time I'll visit thee.

6. My father's in his chamber writing,
Writing out some merchandise;
And he has a letter in hsi pocket,
And it bespeaks love, of your disgrace.

7. Of my disgrace, of my disgrace
Of my disgrace, it cannot be?
For I never denied thee, nor yet despised thee
Until this night ye've denied me.

8. Arise, arise go ask your mother,
If she will let you my bride be,
If she denies thee, come back and tell me,
For it's be the last time I'll visit thee.

9.My mother's in her beddie sleepin'
And words o' love she winna hear,
So I pray young man go and court some other
And whipser softly in her ear.

10. Fat[2] way could I gang and court anither,
Fin ye're the girl I love dear
Fin ye're the girl I adore,
And thocht love, that ye loved me.

11. But after night there comes a morning
and after morning there comes a day,
And after one Love there coems another
So fare-ye well I must away.

12. Before she got on her clothes,
therefore to let her love in
But before she got hte door unlocked
The ship was sailing unto the main.

13 Come back, come back my ain dear Johnnie,
Come back and speak ance mair tae me,
Fat way could I come back again love,
When my ship is sailing far o'er yon sea.

14. The fish may fly and the sea run dry,
And the very rocks melt wi' the sun.
Husbandmen may give o'er their labour
But that will be, love, when you return.

15. She stepped on a few steps further,
and she plunged her body into the sea,
Sayin' Ye may come back and court some other,
But ye winna come back and court wi' me.
