My Sweetheart Went Down with The Ship
Words by Roger Lewis
Music by F. Henri Klickmann

1. Out of the bay, |
My sweetheart went down with the ship, Down to an ocean grave, One of the heroes who gave his life, The women and children to save, Gone but not forgotten, As the big ship rolled and dipped, He went to sleep in the mighty deep, My sweetheart went down with the ship. |
2. Out in the sea, Parted from me, Down in the deep he is sleeping, Fearless and brave, His life he gave, And the angels their watch will be keeping, Tho' parted now, I know somehow, Again your face I'll see, On golden shore, We'll meet once more, For all eternity. | |
