Ballad of Lake Superior
Well he a few years older
A widower was he
She was just a young thing
All the boys her age were mean
He picked her wildwood flowers
Placed them behind her ears
He said I have no money
Only love my dear
And she said
Oooooh, this heart of mine
Loves nothing but the water and the sky
And oooooh, the only thing I need
Is the northern wind blowing through the pines
He built for her a wagon
A gypsy caravan
Kissed her soft on the cheek
Asked of her her hand
Upon her slender finger
A golden ring he slid
Forever I will care for you
If to me your heart you'll give
And she said
Oooooh, this heart of mine
Loves nothing but the water and the sky
And oooooh, the only thing I need
Is the northern wind blowing through the pines
So into stormy waters
He threw his body from a cliff
He left for her a letter
His final words to give
He said if you cannot love me
As a man of flesh and blood
I will become the water
That I you might love
And oooooh, this heart of mine
Forever now becomes the sea
And ooooooh, sweet love of mine
One day you will return to me
Well she was drinking moonshine
The bottle to her lips
Replaced it with a pistol
Gave her final kiss
For finally she did love him
Her heart went out to sea
And if you walk on the shore
You can hear it sing
Oooooh, this heart of mine
Loves nothing but the sky and the sea
And oooooh, sweet love of mine
Forever now I give my heart to thee
Forever now I give my heart to thee
Forever now I give my heart to thee
A widower was he
She was just a young thing
All the boys her age were mean
He picked her wildwood flowers
Placed them behind her ears
He said I have no money
Only love my dear
And she said
Oooooh, this heart of mine
Loves nothing but the water and the sky
And oooooh, the only thing I need
Is the northern wind blowing through the pines
He built for her a wagon
A gypsy caravan
Kissed her soft on the cheek
Asked of her her hand
Upon her slender finger
A golden ring he slid
Forever I will care for you
If to me your heart you'll give
And she said
Oooooh, this heart of mine
Loves nothing but the water and the sky
And oooooh, the only thing I need
Is the northern wind blowing through the pines
So into stormy waters
He threw his body from a cliff
He left for her a letter
His final words to give
He said if you cannot love me
As a man of flesh and blood
I will become the water
That I you might love
And oooooh, this heart of mine
Forever now becomes the sea
And ooooooh, sweet love of mine
One day you will return to me
Well she was drinking moonshine
The bottle to her lips
Replaced it with a pistol
Gave her final kiss
For finally she did love him
Her heart went out to sea
And if you walk on the shore
You can hear it sing
Oooooh, this heart of mine
Loves nothing but the sky and the sea
And oooooh, sweet love of mine
Forever now I give my heart to thee
Forever now I give my heart to thee
Forever now I give my heart to thee
