I wait all day for my sailor
And sometimes he comes
See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know
Me like the nightingale
Oh fair maiden, I see you standing there
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy, your eyes haunt me
And sometimes he comes
See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know
Me like the nightingale
Oh fair maiden, I see you standing there
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy, your eyes haunt me
