[00:09.96]Dear sweetheart as I write to you
[00:14.14]My heart is filled with pain
[00:18.47]For if these things I hear are true
[00:22.84]I'll never see you again
[00:27.13]They tell me darlin' that tonight
[00:31.71]You'll wed another man
[00:35.90]But if you do I'll tell you true
[00:40.44]My boat will never land
[01:10.59]You promised that you would wait for me
[01:14.89]That nothin' could come between
[01:19.26]That in my arms someday you'd be
[01:23.66]My wife and lovely queen
[01:27.87]I builded you that cozy home
[01:32.40]And made a garden there
[01:36.55]And planted too with my own hands
[01:41.06]Sweet flowers rich and rare
[02:10.89]My future hopes are placed in you
[02:15.53]You've been my guidin' star
[02:19.64]Please write and tell me that you're true
[02:23.95]To the sailor who waits afar
[02:28.15]Just tell me that you love me yet
[02:32.41]Still long to be my wife
[02:36.84]I'll return and then we'll wed
[02:41.30]And live a happy life
