They tell me darling that tonight you'll wed another man But if you do I'll tell you true my boat will never land You prosmised that you…
…would wait for me that nothing could come between That in my home some day you'd be my wife and lovely queen I built you…
…been my guiding star Please write and tell me that you're true to the sailor who waits a-far Just tell me that you love me yet…
