   "Then she'll soon lose her army," Says the sailor "Amen." (5) 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."

2. My Little Jane

   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.
