An American boy met an English girl
C G
Far out across the sea
They laughed and loved and lived each day
A7 D7
Their life was full of glee
G
They knew someday he must return
C G
To his native family
When it came and the aye was nigh
D7 G
These words he heard her say
Please don't leave me here to cry
C G
I watch as sweethearts flee
Seems so hard for us to part
A7 D7
And leave me here to grieve
G
Though I know you must return
C G
To your native family
Tell me that you love me dear
D7 G
And will return someday
He kissed her then he said goodbye
C G
And slowly walked away
He could not bear to see her cry
A7 D7
It filled his heart with pain
G
She prayed and dreamed of his return
C G
Although it never came
He wed anew in his native land
D7 G
But inside these words still ring
