Remember Me
Brown was the colour of my true loves hair
His skin was like a lily, fair
It broke my heart when he sailed away
Now, in my sleep, I can hear him say
"Remember me"
Captain, Captain, tell me true
Does my dear sailor boy sail with you
Tell me he does and bring me great joy
None can I love but my sailor boy
"Remember me"
"Oh, no young lady he's not here
In the gulf, he drowned, and we left him there
Along the rocks as we passed by
There we let your true lover lie."
"Remember me"
Go dig my grave, both wide and clean
A marble stone of my head and feet
And let my [?] sweet turtle dove
You show the world I died of love
"Remember me"
His skin was like a lily, fair
It broke my heart when he sailed away
Now, in my sleep, I can hear him say
"Remember me"
Captain, Captain, tell me true
Does my dear sailor boy sail with you
Tell me he does and bring me great joy
None can I love but my sailor boy
"Remember me"
"Oh, no young lady he's not here
In the gulf, he drowned, and we left him there
Along the rocks as we passed by
There we let your true lover lie."
"Remember me"
Go dig my grave, both wide and clean
A marble stone of my head and feet
And let my [?] sweet turtle dove
You show the world I died of love
"Remember me"
