The last thing I'll pray for, it is for a wife
That she may live happy, all the days of her life,
And when she had one child, that she may have ten.
"Then we'll soon raise an army," Says the sailor, "Amen." - When dark November did appear,
It brought a cloud of woe.
And all on earth that I love'd dear.
In an early grave is low.
And now also we'll meet no more.
Your absence gives me pain
Your dream of life is past and o'er,
Farewell my lovely Jane.
And now don't blame me for the weep.
Trough tears are all ni vain'
You're ni your long and lonseome sleep
While in sorrow. I remain.
In grey that is too dark and deep.
For language to explain.
It's o'er your early grave I'll weep
My darling little Jane.(continues on next page)
