Anonymous - The Gallant sailor - текст песни (слова)

Hear me Gallant sailor hear me 
 
while your country has a Foe. 
 
He is mine too, never fear me, 
 
I may weep, But you must go, 
 
I may weep, I may weep, But you must go, 
 
for this flow'ry season woos you 
 
to the peaceful sports of May, 
 
And love sighs so long to Loose You, 
 
Love to Glory shall give way, 
 
Love to Glory, love to glory must give way.

While her Daughters are so true,

We love Honour loving You. 
 
We love Honour loving You, 
 
We love Honour loving You, 
 
For the German flute
