Sailor Boy - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]
'Twas on one dark and stormy night[00:00:05]
The snow was on the ground[00:00:09]
The sailor boy was at his post[00:00:13]
His ship was outward bound[00:00:19]
His sweetheart standing by his side[00:00:25]
She mourned a bitter tear[00:00:29]
Though as he pressed her to his side[00:00:33]
He whispered in her ear[00:00:38]
Farewell my own true love[00:00:43]
This parting gives me pain[00:00:47]
And you will be my guiding star[00:00:52]
Till I return again[00:00:57]
(Instrumental break)[00:00:59]
And then I think of you my love[00:01:19]
While storms are raging high[00:01:23]
Then oh sweetheart remember me[00:01:28]
Your faithful sailor boy[00:01:33]
'Twas sad to say the ship returned[00:01:38]
Without the sailor boy[00:01:42]
For he had died while on the sea[00:01:47]
His flag was held most high[00:01:52]
Farewell my own true love[00:01:57]
This parting gives me pain[00:02:01]
And you will be my guiding star[00:02:05]
Till I return again[00:02:10]
(Instrumental break)[00:02:13]
And as his shipmate steps on shore[00:02:32]
To tell that he was dead[00:02:36]
The letter that he gave to her[00:02:40]
These words it sadly read[00:02:45]
Farewell my own true love[00:02:50]
On earth we'll meet no more[00:02:54]
So may we meet in heaven above[00:02:58]
Where parting is no more[00:03:03]
