Bring Back My Sailor Boy - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
BRING BACK MY SAILOR BOY. Copyright, 1888. by Wm. A. Pond & Co. 
He kissed me sweet good-bye one day Beside the cottage gate, And whispered, Tho' I'm far away. My dear one, watch and wait. The failing tears were on my cheek. He waved a last adieu; Cheer up, he cried, what e'er betide, My heart shall still be true. Then breeze blow high or low, Bear to him my message of joy; And blue sea, over to me Bring back my sailor boy 
Chorus. Breeze blow high or low. Bear to him my message of Joy; And blue sea, over to me Bring back my sailor boy. 
I watched afar the snowy sails, They brought no word from him; At night I heard the stormy gales, That made my hopes grow dim. In dreams I saw him on the deck, And love, he said, be true; Tho' storms may rave across the wave, I'm sailing home to you. Then breeze blow high or low, Bear to him my message of joy; And blue sea, over to me Bring back my sailor boy.- Chorus. 
The dawn is bright on sea and shore, A sail is in the bay; He comes to leave me never more, My love comes home to-day. Oh, bonnie ship that bounds along, My heart flies out to you; And winds may blow and seas may flow, I know my love is true. Then breeze blow high or low, Bear to him my message of joy; And blue sea, over to me Bring back my sailor boy.-Chorus.
