作词 : Stewart
Ah me, I must mourn my true love evermore 
Though coldly forsaken, it's you adore 
And if you'd return then 
I'd make you my bride 
Or I'd cross the wild 
Atlantic to be by your side 
On the morning we parted, how sad the farewell 
Our words, they were few, but our thoughts none could tell 
And when lost to my vision far over the brine 
I drank your success in a goblet of wine 
Three times have 
I crossed to the ship as she lay 
Becalmed on the breast of the silvery bay 
And my crew are the bravest ever handled an oar 
Unawed by the tempest, they laugh at its roar 
No ballroom can tempt me nor raise my despair 
For there none in the dance that with you can compare 
And to watch the young lovers as they swing 'round the floor 
Brings tears to these eyes that may see you no more 
And in beauty there's none with this lady could vie 
She's as pure as the stars and the blue of the sky 
She's as fair as a lily and as sweet as a rose 
And there's nothing can tempt me, her name to disclose 
No drink will 
I take for to lighten my heart 
But the wildest adventures 
I'll take for my part 
No women on earth will 
I have for a bride '
Til I cross the wild 
Atlantic to be your side 
Ah me, I must mourn my true love evermore 
Though coldly forsaken, it's you adore 
And if you'd return then 
I'd make you my bride 
Or I'll cross the wild 
Atlantic to be by your side
