My Love has Gone Sung by Bob Copper on the Song for Every Season LP.
As I was a-walking down by the sea-shore
Where the wind and the waves and the billows do roar
There I heard a strange voice make a terrible sound
'Twas the wind and the waves and the echoes all round
Crying, O-oh my love has gone
He's a youth I adore
He's gone and I never shall see him no moreShe'd a voice like a nightingale skin like a dove
And the song that she sung it was all about love
I asked her to marry me marry me please
But the answer she gave, My love's drowned in the sea
Crying O-oh my love has gone
He's a youth I adore
He's gone and I never shall see him no moreI told her I'd gold and I'd silver beside
In a coach and six horses with me she could ride
No I never will marry nor yet make a wife
I'll stay constant and true all the time I've got life
Crying O-oh my love has gone
He's a youth I adore
He's gone and I never shall see him no moreShe threw out her arms and she took a great leap
From the cliffs that were high to the billows so deep
Crying, the rocks of the ocean shall make me a bed
And the shrimps of the sea shall swim over my head.
Crying O-oh my love has gone
He's a youth I adore
He's gone and I never shall see him no moreAnd now every night at six bells they appear
When the moon it is rising, the sky it is clear.
These two constant lovers with all their young charms
Rolling over and over in each other's arms.
Crying O-oh my love has gone
He's a youth I adore
He's gone and I never shall see him no more
