Standard (EADGBE)

Take this stolen ring before you go

 Don't ever leave it behind

Take this stolen heart before you go

 And never keep it out of mind

 For though we'll be parted for an age

 By the cruel ocean deep and wide

 For though we'll be parted for an age

 My song will carry to you on the tide

 And through wild weather and stormy seas

 Your ship will tumble and roll

 And through wild weather and stormy seas

 You'll return to me what you stole

 So take this golden ring before you go

 Don't ever leave it behind

Take this weeping heart before you go

 And never keep it out of mind
