My Willie sails on board the tender

where he is I do not know.

For seven long years I have been waiting

to cross the Bay of Biscay-o.

Mary was sleeping her love came creeping

to her bedroom door did go,

Saying, “Rise up, Mary, my lovely Mary,

I'm your charming Willie-o.”

Willie-

I'm your charming Willie-o.”

Mary arose and put on her clothes

trough her bedroom door did go,

And there she spared her own true lover

his face as white as the lily snow.

“Oh, Willie dear, where are those blushes,

Those blushes I knew long years ago?”

“Mary dear, while the clay has changed them,

I'm the ghost of your Willie-o.”

Willie-

I'm the ghost of your Willie-o.”

They spent the night in deep conversation

Concerning their courtship years ago.

Mary dear, while the dawn is breaking,

The time has come for me to go.

And I must leave you broken-hearted

Down her tears they began to flow.

They kissed ,he embraced and sorrowfully parted

Just as the cocky began to crow.

began to crow.began to crow.

Just as the cocky began to crow.

when will you return again?

When the fishes they do fly

the sea it will run dry

And the rocks will melt unto the sun.”

the sun

the rocks will melt unto the sun.
