bring my billy home she cried
don’t take my love from me
and though i heard her plaintive cry
still was i lost at sea
a sennight since the storm blew up
and dragged us to our grave
my spirit stands outwith her door
and begs my love be brave
you will not see my eyes of blue
nor yet my golden hair
they were lost beneath the waves
to Davy Jones’s care
you will not feel my gentle hand
or taste my lover’s kiss
for i am done with all such things
that once gave me such bliss
but when the wind blows high and hard
then will i come to thee
to bring you to a couch beside
the one reserved for me
and we shall rest forever more
where mankind’s eyes are blind
and there we’ll take such comfort as
our corpses yet may find
