And when the howling wintry blast.
Disturbs my lassie's midnight rest;
Unclasped to my faithfu' breast,
I'll comfort thee, my dearie O.
Lassie wi', &c.
Disturbs my lassie's midnight rest;
Unclasped to my faithfu' breast,
I'll comfort thee, my dearie O.
Lassie wi', &c.
ON THE SEAS & FAR AWAY
How can my poor heart be glad,
When absent from my sailor lad?
How can I the thought forego,
He's on the seas to meet the foe?
Let me wander, let me rove,
Still my heart is with my love;
Nightly dreams and thoughts by day
Are with him that's far away.
When absent from my sailor lad?
How can I the thought forego,
He's on the seas to meet the foe?
Let me wander, let me rove,
Still my heart is with my love;
Nightly dreams and thoughts by day
Are with him that's far away.

On stormy seas and far away;
Nightly dreams & thoughts by day
Are ay with him that's far away.
On the seas and far away,
On stormy seas and far away;
Nightly dreams & thoughts by day
Are ay with him that's far away.
When in summer's noon I faint,
As weary flocks around me pant,
Haply in this scorching sun
My sailor's thund'ring at his gun;
As weary flocks around me pant,
Haply in this scorching sun
My sailor's thund'ring at his gun;
