W:A maiden sat a-weeping
W:Down by the sea shore,
W:What ails my pretty mistress?
W:What ails my pretty mistress?
W:And makes her heart sore!

W:Because I am a-weary,
W:A weary in mind,
W:No comfort, and no pleasure, love,
W:No comfort, and no pleasure, love,

W:I'll spread my sail of silver,
W:I'll lose my rope of silk,
W:My mast is of the cypress-tree,
W:My mast is of the cypress tree,
W:My track is as milk.

W:I'll spread my sail of silver
W:I'll steer toward the sun
W:And thou, false love wilt weep for me,
W:And thou, false love wilt weep for me,
W:For me - when I am gone.
