Lyrics The Sailor's Plea - Jimmie Rodgers
Dear
sweetheart,
as
I
write
to
you
My
heart
is
filled
with
pain
For
if
these
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
builded
you
that
cozy
home
And
made
a
garden
there
And
planted
too
with
my
own
hands
Sweet
flowers
rich
and
rare
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
