As she lay across her bed that lonely night  The pictures of her life went passing by  When the lightning brightened up her darkened room  Her tears like falling rain came pouring down  Only he who'd put her here was on her mind  Though she loved him more than life, he did not care  She had put all of her love into him, then he went away  Now, she laid with folded hands, prepared to die  Oh what a fool was she to give him love  A sailor boy was he  He coldly stole her heart  And he carried it to sea  And now he's gone and as she lay alone to breathe her last in sin  That sailor never thought of her again
