Parted (#1) Annotated

De breeze is blowin' 'cross de bay.
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
De ship hit teks me far away,
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
Ole Mas' done sol' me down de stream;
Dey tell me 't ain't so bad 's hit seem,
&nbspMy lady, my lady.

O' co'se I knows dat you 'll be true,
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
But den I do' know whut to do,
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
I knowed some day we 'd have to pa't,
But den hit put' nigh breaks my hea't,
&nbspMy lady, my lady.

De day is long, de night is black,
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
I know you 'll wait twell I come back,
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
I 'll stan' de ship, I 'll stan' de chain,[Pg 146]
But I 'll come back, my darlin' Jane,
&nbspMy lady, my lady.

Jes' wait, jes' b'lieve in whut I say,
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
D' ain't nothin' dat kin keep me 'way,
&nbspMy lady, my lady;
A man 's a man, an' love is love;
God knows ouah hea'ts, my little dove;
He 'll he'p us f'om his th'one above,
&nbspMy lady, my lady.
