Sailor`s Plea — текст песни (Bill Monroe)

Dear sweetheart as I write to you my heart is filled with pain
For if those things I hear are true I`ll never see you again
They tell me darlin` that tonight 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 that nothin` could come between
That in my arms someday you`d be my wife and lovely Queen
I built you that cozy home and made a garden there
And planted too with my own hands sweet flowers rich and fair

My future hopes are placed in you you`ve been my guidin` star
Please write and tell me that you`re true to the sailor who waits afar
Just tell me that you love me yet still long to be my wife
I`ll return and then we`ll wed and live a happy life
