La paloma (the dove)

The day that I left my home for the rolling sea
I said "Mother dear oh pray to thy God for me",
AND 'ER we sailed I went upon leave to take
Of Nina who wept as if her poor heart would break

"Nina, if I should die on the ocean foam
Softly a white dove on a fair eve should come
Open thy lattice dearest for it will be,
My faithful soul my loving comes back to thee
Oh, a life on the sea
Singing joyous and free
Ahhhhhhhhh, we are going
None are so gay as we,
Oh a life on the sea
Singing joyous and free
Ahhhhh we are going
None are so gay as we.

If there is any more, I don't know it
