A Seaman's Girl - The Louvin Brothers

She stands all alone on the seashore

As the waves plain near her feet

Looking over the distant horizon

At a ship in this silent retreat

As a sad moon shines down upon her

She whispers a fond farewell

To the man she loves aboard the ship

For she’s a seaman’s girl

A seaman’s girl lives a life that is lonely

While her man is gone out to sea

The smile that she wears as she’s seeing him on

Seems to hide her fuse and misery

And a love that she bears for her seafaring man

Will live on for evermore

Though the life beloved gives on the sea

And her lives on the shore

True is the love that is burning

In the heart of a seaman’s girl

It’s the waiting gain but she never complain

She wouldn’t trade him for all of this world

Her tears she hides from her seaman

Though they may never kiss nomore

While he meets with the dangers of a deep rolling sea

A seaman’s girl must wait on the shore
