And the ship rides lig4s and free.
All sad are the hearts of the crew tonight,
For the sweet hearts left behind
For many a month win pass away
Fer the ship returns 70 port.
And my sailor boy may be lost at sea,
In the tempest aud the gale.
Oh, Heaven, save my sailor noy.
When storms are raging high,
And bring him back 70 home and friends,
And the sweetheart left behind.

And his grub is none the best;

For shipmate IN distress.
