American Old Time Song Lyrics: 37 Our Good Ship Sails To Night
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 37
Our Good Ship Sails To-Night.
Our good ship sails to-night, Mary, and I must haste away;
I see the banner waving out in the little bay.
Long, long, may I be absent upon the deep blue sea,
But when I'm gone away, love, still, still remember me.
My heart will e'er be true, Mary, unto our early vow,
And i ho' the ocean rolls between, 'twill beat as warm as now. )
This little token I will keep, whate'er my fate may be; {
I'll wear it near my heart, love, a priceless gift from thee.
I cannot linger now, Mary, the shades of evening fall; (
The boat is waiting at the beach-I hear the well-known call;
Then fare thee well, my dearest one, my home is on the sea; S
Yet should my life be spared, love, I'll come again to thee.
