EditVerse
Gonna write me a letter
Gonna send it on the foam
Gonna send it to my baby
Gonna beg him to come home

He wanted me for to marry
My papa he said no
Said that he didn't like him
Told him that he would have to go

He's gone he's gone
I led him down to the water
Watched him sail away on a boat
Left me there broken-hearted

Broken-hearted and all alone
He's gone he's gone
Gonna write me a letter
Gonna send it on the foam

Gonna send it to my baby
Gonna beg him to come home
He's gone he's gone
