My lov-er to me

 4    4   4   -5*  -3*

They told me last night

 -3*   -5*   3* -3*  3*  3  -2

There were ships in the off-ing

-1* 4  4   -5*  -3*

And I hur-ried down

-3* -5* -5   5   -5  -5*

To the deep roll-ing sea

-5*-5* -6   -6   -6  -5* -5*

But my eye could not see it

-5*  5* 5*   5*  5 -3*

Wher-ev-er might be it

 3*  4    -3* 3*  -2   4*

The bark that is bear-ing

4  -3* 3* 3  3*

My lov-er to me
