The ship is sailing down the bay,
Good bye my lover, good bye.
We may not meet for many a day,
Good bye my lover,good bye.

My heart will ever more be true,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.
Though now we sadly say adieu,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.

By low my baby, By low my baby,
By low my baby, Good-bye my lover, good-bye.

I’ll miss you on the stormy deep,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.
What can I do but ever weep,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.

My heart is broken with regret,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.
But never dream that I’ll forget,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.

By low my baby, By low my baby,
By low my baby, Good-bye my lover, good-bye.

Then cheer up till we meet again,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.
I’ll try to bear my weary pain,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.

Though far I roam across the sea,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.
My ev’ry thought of you shall be,
Good-bye my lover, good-bye.

By low my baby, By low my baby,
By low my baby, Good-bye my lover, good-bye.
