The Faithful Sailor Boy ----- Bridie Gallagher + Lyrics

On a bold and stormy winter night
As the snow lay on the ground,
A sailor boy stood on the quay
His ship was outward bound.

His true love standing by his side,
Shed many a bitter tear.
And as he pressed her to his heart
He whispered in her ear:

Farewell, farewell, my own true love;
This parting gives me pain.
You'll be my own, True guiding star
Till I return again.

My thought will be on you, my love,
When storms are raging high.
So farewell love! Remember me,
Your faithful sailor boy.

The ship returned and sad to say
Without her sailor boy
He died at sea while on his way
And the flags were half mast high

When His comrades come on shore
They told her he was dead
And in the letter that he sent
The last line sadly said

Farewell, farewell my own true love
On earth we'll meet no more
I Hope We'll Meet In Heaven above
On that bright and happy shore

I hope we'll meet in that bright land
The land beyond the sky
Where you never will be parted from
Your faithful sailor boy
