Sailor's Song

My heart belongs to someone else,
Who lives so far away.
My heart belongs to someone else,
My love has gone today.

My love he is a sailor boy,
Who lives across the sea.
He's the reason why I'm coy,
To lie and be with thee.

And so I'm sure that we must part,
And never be as one.
My mind was made right from the start,
This union be undone.

Or rather, “Now what have I said,
This union be undone?”
“I would rather lie in bed,
With someone newly won.”

So leave me now, my mind is set.
You can never be with me,
Or be forever in my debt.
My heart is closed to thee.

My heart belongs to someone else,
Who lives so far away.
My heart belongs to someone else,
My love has gone today.
