American Old Time Song Lyrics: 30 The Anchors Weighed
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 30
THE ANCHORS WEIGHED.
The tear fell gently from her eye
When last we parted from the shore;
My bosom heaved with many a sigh.
To think I ne'er should see her more,
To think I ne'er should see her more.
Dear youth, she cried, and can thou haste away
My heart will break-a little moment stay.
Alas! I cannot, cannot part from thee;
The anchor's weighed, the anchor's weighed-
Farewell! farewell! remember me.
Weep not, dear love, I trembling said;
Doubt not a constant heart like mine;
I ne'er shall meet another maid
Whose charms can fix this heart like thine,
Whose charms can fix this heart like thine.
Go then, she cried, but let thy constant mind
Oft think of her thou leav'st in tears behind.
Dear maid, this lust embrace my pledge will be;
The anchor's weighed, the anchor's weighed-
Farewell! farewell I remember me.
