Out On The Ocean

>
I am sailing out on the ocean
Many a mile from home on sea
And I wonder, little darling
If you ever think of me
I am just an old, true lover
Roaming through this world alone
And I have no one to love me
Through this life I'll always roam

I was once carefree and happy
When I won my sweetheart's hand
And now my life is empty
Since you wed another man
Do you remember, little darling
Just how much I cared for you?
And you told me that you loved me
But you proved to be untrue

I am travelling far away, dear
Many a mile from this old place
And I know I'll never forget you
Your sweet smile and happy face

I can hear my mother calling
I can see my father praying
If I'd listened to my father
I would be at home today
