lyrics

it’s been 3 and 30 nights since her father said to her
I’m sorry child to leave you but I cannot stay this world
she looked upon her father from the right side of the bed
heard the words he breathed a trembling hand upon her head
listened to and clung to every word that he had said
‘twas the last time she would hear his voice for soon they found him dead
oh daddy, please, won’t you stay a while with me
and once again together we could sail the Northern Seas
oh darling, love and child of mine, if it were up to me
I’d sail with you forever all around the Northern Seas
hold you warm and close to me to fend the Northern Breeze
oh, darling, love and child of mine, if it were up to me
for, lo! the time has come for me to step into the Eve
and a favor I must ask of you before I take my leave
if I deny you this favor would you have to leave me still
this favor you must do for me although against your will
if you deny me this one favor, child, you know I’d love you still
but, if you’re heart is true to mine it’s sure to be fulfilled
my weary face may fade away
my weary voice may grow quiet
oh! child of mine, if you remember none of these
remember well the Northern Seas
