Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The time has come, my dearest dear
For you and I to part
How little do you know of the grief and the woe
And my poor achin' heart?
It's what I suffer for your sake
Believe me, dear, it's true
I wish that you could stay with me
Or I could go with you
[Verse 2]
I wish my breasts were made of glass
Wherein you might behold
Your name, in secret, I would write
In letters made of gold
Your name, in secret, I would write
Believe me when I say
You are the man that I love best
Until my dyin' day
[Verse 3]
When you're on some distant shore
Think of your absent friend
And when the wind blows high and clear
A line or two, pray, send
And when the wind blows high and clear
Pray, send your love to me
That I might know by your handwrite
How times have gone with thee
[Chorus]
The blackest crow that ever flew
Would surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you
Bright day will turn to night
Bright day will turn to night, my dear
The elements would mourn
If ever I prove false to you
The seas would rage and burn
[Outro]
If ever I prove false to you
The seas would rage and burn
