Remember Me

Brown was the color of my true love's hair
Her skin was like a lily fair
It broke my heart when he sailed away
Now in my dreams I can hear him say

Remember me
Oh, captain-captain tell me too
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 is not here
In the cove he drowned and we left him there
Along the rocks as we passed by
There we left your true lover lie

Remember me
So dig my grave both wide and deep
A marble stone at my head and feet
And at my chest a sweet turtle dove
To show the world
I died of love

Remember me
Brown was the color of my true love's hair
Her skin was like a lily fair
It broke my heart when he sailed away
Now in my dreams I can hear him say

Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
