I've longed so for this moment, ever since you left I have toiled the field on my hands and knees and awaited your return Listen now my darling, I wish that I could stay But I'm off with me ship were meant to fight the Britts and their fleet At shipwreck bay Oh spare me but one moment, surely there be time We should drink and eat, and you must want to me the son That's yours and mine The touch of me warm sweet lips, made widowers before Yer not the first, to find themselves a nurse, as I head for distant shore Curse your thirst for freedom, your loath for honest work Won't you settle down, in our quiet down. I'm begging you don't go Hush now my dear lover, a bed be not for tears Your sobs won't pay for my nightly stay, now I should be on my way
