As she lay across her bed that lonely night The pictures of her life went passing by As the lightning brightened up her darkened room Her tears, harder than rain, came pouring down Only he who put her here was on her mind Though she loved him more than life, he did not care She had put all of her love into him, then he went away Now, she laid with folded hands, prepared to die ♪ Oh, what a fool was she to give him love, a sailor boy was he He coldly stole her heart and he carried it to sea And now he's gone and as she lay alone to breathe her last in sin That sailor never thought of her again
