"Dark Eyed Sailor" written by Karen Mal

Lyrics:
As I roved out one evening fair
It bein' the summertime to take the air
I spied a maiden and a sailor bold
And I stood to listen
And I stood to listen to hear what they might say.

He said "Fair maid, why do you roam
On yonder lea and all alone?"
She heaved a sigh and the tears did roll
"For my dark-eyed sailor
For my dark-eyed sailor, he plows the stormy sea."

"'Tis seven long years since he left this land
A ring he took off from his lily-white hand
One half of the ring is still here with me
But the other is rollin'
But the other is rollin' at the bottom of the sea."

He said "You fair maid you must dry your eyes
Some other young man you will surely find
For love turns aside and soon cold has grown
Like a winter's morning
Like a winter's morning when the fields are clad in snow."

She said "I will never forsake my dear
Although we've been parted this many a year
Gentle was he, not a rake like you
Who'd induce a maiden
Who'd induce a maiden to slight the jacket blue."

Then one half of the ring did young William show
She ran distracted in grief and woe
Sayin' "William, oh William, I have gold in store
For my dark-eyed sailor
For my dark-eyed sailor he has come home again
