Papa, papa, build me a boat
So on this river I can float
Ev'ry ship I chance to see
I'll inquire of sweet Willy
ย
Captain, Captain, tell me true
Does sweet Willy sail with you?
"No, oh no, he don't sail with me
He got drowned in, in a deep blue sea"
ย
I'm agoin' away, little darling girl
I'm agoin' away for awhile
But I will return to you, sweetheart
Should I go ten thousand mile
ย
Stars may rule the oceans, sweetheart
And heavens may cease to be
This earth will lose it's motion, sweetheart
Should I prove false to thee
ย
