W:All things are quite silent, each mortal at rest,
W:When me and my true love lay snug in one nest,
W:When a bold set of ruffians broke into our cave,
W:And they forced my dear jewel to plough the salt wave.

W:I begged hard for my darling as I would for my life.
W:But they'd not listen to me although a fond wife,
W:Saying: The king must have sailors, to the seas he must go,
W:And they left me lamenting in sorrow and woe.

W:Through green fields and meadows we of times have walked,
W:And the fond recollections together have talked,
W:Where the lark and the blackbird so sweetly did sing,
W:And the lovely thrushes' voices made the valleys to ring.

W:4
W:Now although I'm forsaken, I won't be cast down.
W:Who knows but my true love some day may return
W:And will make me amends for my trouble and strife,
W:And me and my true love might live happy for life.
