By The River Sainte Marie 1931

Across the foam
and far from home
the sailor boy Pierre
gazed upon the night
in all its glory
Sweet mem'ries came
and spoke the name
of someone oh so fair,
As his comrades
heard him tell this story.

I left her by The River Sainte Marie
We pledged our love until eternity,
Along the pebbl'd pathway from her door,
We kissed and then we kissed again
and parted on the shore,
The Angelus rang out upon the sea,
I saw her kneel
and say a prayer for me,
When winter's gone
and spring is on
I'll meet her
By The River Sainte Marie.

I left her by The River Sainte Marie
We pledged our love until eternity,
Along the pebbl'd pathway from her door,
We kissed and then we kissed again
and parted on the shore,
The Angelus rang out upon the sea,
I saw her kneel
and say a prayer for me,
When winter's gone
and spring is on
I'll meet her
By The River Sainte Marie.
