The Sailor Song Lyrics

As she lay across her bed that lonely night
The pictures of her life went passing by
When the lightning brightened up her darkened room
Her tears like falling rain came pouring down

Only he who'd put her here was on her mind
Though she loved him more than life, he did not care
She had put all her love into him, then he went away
Now, she laid with folded hands, prepared to die

Oh what a fool she was to give him love
A sailor boy was he
He coldly stole her heart
And he acrried it to sea

And now he's gone and as she lay alone to breath her last in sin
The sailor never thought of her again
