    O that is two long for true lovers
    to part

    And as he was crossing the
    raging sea
    Strange thoughts came into his
    head
    he dreamt he had a true lover
    at home.
    and again he dreamt she was
    dead.

    but i'll never sleep three nights of my life
    rill i see her dead or alive.
