'''The Faithful Sailor Boy'''

==
Version from [[George Spicer]] ==

#It was a stormy winter’s night The snow lay on the ground The sailor boy stood on the quay His ship was outward bound His sweetheart standing by his side Shed many a silent tear And as he pressed her to his breast He whispered in her ear ''Chorus'' Farewell, farewell my own true love This parting brings me pain I’ll be your own true guiding star When I return again My thoughts shall be of you, of you When the storms are raging high So fare thee well, remember me Your faithful sailor boy 
#Without a gale the ship set sail He bid his love goodbye She watched his craft till out of sight A tear bedimmed her eye She prayed to him in heaven above To guide him on his way His last and loving words that night Re-echoed o’er the bay 
#But sad to say the ship returned Without her sailor boy He died whilst on the voyage home The flag was half-mast high And when his comrades came on shore They told het he was dead A letter he had sent to her the last lien sadly read ''Final chorus'' Farewell, farewell my own true love On earth we’ll meet no more I soon shall be from storm and sea On that eternal shore I hope to meet you in that land That land beyond the sky Where you shall not be parted from Your faithful sailor boy
