An American boy met an English girl Far out across the sea They laughed and loved and lived each day Their life was full of glee They knew someday he must return To his native family When it came and the aye was nigh These words he heard her say Please don't leave me here to cry I watch as sweethearts flee Seems so hard for us to part And leave me here to grieve Though I know you must return To your native family Tell me that you love me dear And will return someday He kissed her then he said goodbye And slowly walked away He could not bear to see her cry It filled his heart with pain She prayed and dreamed of his return Although it never came He wed anew in his native land But inside these words still ring Repeat #3 & 4
