Old North Shore Lyrics

On the old north shore

There my truest love and I we bid farewell

The winds were high

But his captain called to him and he must take the sail

Though I begged him not to go

For the roaring wind and snow

Would surely bring him down

N'er to return

Hear me cry

Oh for one more moment in your arms

A cruel goodbye

These waters are a grave forever more

Bid our last farewell

By the old north shore

On the old north shore

I told my dearest love that all was well

Kissed her hand

Brushed her cheek and placed a flower in her hair

Though I felt the wind and hail

My heart began to fail

And I looked back to see my love

For one last time

Hear me cry

Oh for one more moment in your arms

A cruel goodbye

These waters are a grave forever more

Bid our last farewell

By the old north shore

Hear me cry

Oh for one more moment in your arms

A cruel goodbye

These waters are a grave forever more

Bid our last farewell

By the old north shore

Bid our last farewell

By the old north shore
