Who Can Love Like A Sailor 1896

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 09 Sep 2003

When the night is dark,
and the waves roll high,
and fierce is the stormy sea,
I know in my heart that far away
A fair lass prays for me.
A fair young lass, an English lass,
whose heart as steel is true;
and I love that lass
with her looks of gold
and her eyes of azure blue.

Ah! Who can love like a sailor
Who sails the stormy sea?
And who so true as the sailor's lass?
Yes, true to her love is she;
And when the tempest rages on high,
and white, and white the windtoss'd main,
her trembling lips send up the pray'r:
"Bring back my lad again!"
Her trembling lips send up the pray'r:
"Bring back my lad again!"

When the wind blows fair
and the sun shines bright
we bowl thro' the sunny sea;
And I know full well that far away
a sweet lass sings for me,
a sweet young lass, an English lass,
who will be my pride thro' life;
Then we drink right glad
with three times three,
Hurrah! for the sailor's wife

Ah! Who can love like a sailor
Who sails the stormy sea?
And who so true as the sailor's lass?
Yes, true to her love is she;
And when the tempest rages on high,
and white, and white the windtoss'd main,
her trembling lips send up the pray'r:
"Bring back my lad again!"
Her trembling lips send up the pray'r:
"Bring back my lad again!"
