*Awkward Annie*to Farewell :One dark and stormy winters nightThe snow lay on the groundThe sailor boy strode on the wharfAnd the ship was eastward boundHis sweetheart standing by his side Shed many a bitter tearAnd as he pressed her to his breastHe whispered in her earWas any fail the ship set sailHis love was standing byShe watched the vessel out of sightAnd the tears bedimmed her eyeShe prayed to him and heaven aboveTo guide him on his wayAnd all the parting words that nightStill echoed loud round the bayFarewell Farewell my own true loveMay this grief for me till soreAnd you will be my guiding lightTill I return once moreMy thoughts will be with you my loveWhen the storm is raging highSo farewell, farewell, remember me Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boySo farewell farewell my own true loveOn earth we live no longerpatiently tell heaven aboveI'll be back to tell you sureI hope to meet you in the landFrom far beyond the skyWhere you know what the parts are fromThy faithful sailor boyThis grief it makes me soreAnd you will be my guiding lightTill I return once moreMy thoughts will be with you my loveWhen the storm is raging highSo farewell, farewell, remember me My faithful sailor boy, my faithful sailor boyMy faithful sailor boyLyrics to Farewell :One dark and stormy winters nightThe snow lay on the groundThe sailor boy strode on the wharfAnd the ship was eastward boundHis sweetheart standing by his sideShed many a bitter tearAnd as he pressed her to his breastHe whispered in her earWas any fail the ship set sailHis love was standing byShe watched the vessel out of sightAnd the tears bedimmed her eyeShe prayed to him and heaven aboveTo guide him on his wayAnd all the parting words that nightStill echoed loud round the bayFarewell Farewell my own true loveMay this grief for me till soreAnd you will be my guiding lightTill I return once moreMy thoughts will be with you my loveWhen the storm is raging highSo farewell, farewell, remember meThy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boySo farewell farewell my own true loveOn earth we live no longerpatiently tell heaven aboveI'll be back to tell you sureI hope to meet you in the landFrom far beyond the skyWhere you know what the parts are fromThy faithful sailor boyThis grief it makes me soreAnd you will be my guiding lightTill I return once moreMy thoughts will be with you my loveWhen the storm is raging highSo farewell, farewell, remember meMy faithful sailor boy, my faithful sailor boyMy faithful sailor boy |
