As a lady was walking down by the seaside
A poor drowned sailor she chanced there to spy
When first she saw the sailor he put her to a stand
For she knew it t'was her lover by the mark on his hand

She put her arms 'round him, she called him her dear
She wept and she kissed him ten thousand time o'er
Saying 'now I am resigned to lie by your side'
As she kissed his cold lips and heartbroken she died

In yonder green churchyard this couple was layed
And a stone for remembrance placed over their grave
Saying 'our joys they are all over all pleasures are fled
We shall lie here forever, the grave is our bed'
