’Twas on one dark and stormy night The snow was on the ground The sailor boy was at his post His ship was outward bound 
His sweetheart standing by his side She mourned a bitter tear Though as he pressed her to his side He whispered in her ear 
Chorus Farewell, my own true love This parting gives me pain And you will be my guiding star ’Til I return again 
And then I think of you, my love While storms are raging high Then, oh sweetheart, remember me Your faithful sailor boy 
’Twas sad to say the ship returned Without the sailor boy For he had died while on the sea His flag was held most high 
And as his shipmate steps on shore To tell that he was dead A letter that he gave to her These words it sadly read 
ch: Farewell, my own true love On earth we’ll meet no more Though may we meet in heaven above Where parting is no more
