Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Good-bye, My Lover, Good-bye (T H Allen)
The version my great-great grandmother sang to me was

I saw the ship go ‘round the bend
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye
Loaded down with big fat men
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye

Bye oh, bye my baby, bye
Bye oh, bye my baby, bye
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye
