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
