Across the Sea
My lover he has gone from me
To far off lands , to make a life.
My lover he has crossed the sea
And left behind a bereaved wife.
My heavy heart is filled with fear
That I shall live and die alone.
In his presence I cried no tear,
My heavy heart felt like a stone.
He said, for us, that he must go
Away to make his fortune there.
He will not return, this I know,
And his loss I cannot bear.
My lover he has gone from me
To far off lands across the sea.
