Dear sweetheart, as I write to you
   C                    G
My heart is filled with pain
G
For if these things I hear are true
     A7             D7
I'll never see you again

They tell me darlin', that tonight
C                  B7
You'll wed another man

But if you do, I'll tell you true

My boat will never land

You promised that you would wait for me
     C                    G
That nothin' could come between
G
That in my arms someday you'd be
   A7                D7
My wife and lovely queen

[Verse 4]
  G
I builded you that cozy home
    C             B7
And made a garden there
    C                G
And planted too with my own hands

Sweet flowers rich and rare

My future hopes are placed in you

You've been my guiding star
G
Please write and tell me that you're true
       A7                D7
To the sailor who waits afar

[Verse 6]
     G
Just tell me that you love me yet
C                   B7
Still long to be my wife
C               G
I'll return and then we'll wed

And live a happy life
