[00:00.00]Sailor Boy - The Carter Family
[00:05.22]'Twas on one dark and stormy night
[00:09.44]The snow was on the ground
[00:13.90]The sailor boy was at his post
[00:19.37]His ship was outward bound
[00:25.02]His sweetheart standing by his side
[00:29.53]She mourned a bitter tear
[00:33.59]Though as he pressed her to his side
[00:38.79]He whispered in her ear
[00:43.78]Farewell my own true love
[00:47.79]This parting gives me pain
[00:52.07]And you will be my guiding star
[00:57.57]Till I return again
[00:59.93](Instrumental break)
[01:19.82]And then I think of you my love
[01:23.65]While storms are raging high
[01:28.03]Then oh sweetheart remember me
[01:33.30]Your faithful sailor boy
[01:38.66]'Twas sad to say the ship returned
[01:42.97]Without the sailor boy
[01:47.21]For he had died while on the sea
[01:52.56]His flag was held most high
[01:57.21]Farewell my own true love
[02:01.12]This parting gives me pain
[02:05.33]And you will be my guiding star
[02:10.64]Till I return again
[02:13.45](Instrumental break)
[02:32.35]And as his shipmate steps on shore
[02:36.83]To tell that he was dead
[02:40.55]The letter that he gave to her
[02:45.80]These words it sadly read
[02:50.37]Farewell my own true love
[02:54.25]On earth we'll meet no more
[02:58.48]So may we meet in heaven above
[03:03.84]Where parting is no more
