G
An American boy met an English girl
    C              G
Far out across the sea

They laughed and loved and lived each day
A7                     D7
Their life was full of glee

G
They knew someday he must return 
   C              G
To his native family

When it came and the aye was nigh
      D7                 G
These words he heard her say


Please don’t leave me here to cry
  C                    G
I watch as sweethearts flee

Seems so hard for us to part
A7                   D7
And leave me here to grieve G Though I know you must return C G To your native family Tell me that you love me dear D7 G And will return someday He kissed her then he said goodbye C G And slowly walked away He could not bear to see her cry A7 D7 It filled his heart with pain G She prayed and dreamed of his return C G Although it never came He wed anew in his native land D7 G But inside these words still ring Repeat #3 & 4
