Lyrics
Farewell, farewell to my only child
Like a rough, and a rolling sea
Like a rough, and a rolling sea
The lightnings flashed, and the thunder rolled
Like a rough and a rollling sea
Like a rough and a rolling sea
The storms beat high and the winds blew fierce
Like a rough and a rolling sea
Like a rough and a rolling sea
