DEAR ELIZABETH LYRICS

Dear Elizabeth, I hope this letter finds you
just the same as it leaves me.
Dear Elizabeth, we had a storm,
A northwest gale at sea.
Dear Elizabeth, we sail at noon
I’ll bring you a present back
Dear Elizabeth, I’ll see you soon.
Goodbye for now, yours Jack.

My great grandfather sailed the seas
in a clipper as a mate
he was born in Carny Shiels, in 1828
and he courted dear Elizabeth
who saved each letter from her beau
Now I’ve read each one
Each verse a tear
Yet I feel all aglow

Chorus
Dear Elizabeth, I hope this letter finds you
just the same as it leaves me.
Dear Elizabeth, we had a storm,
A Northwest gale at sea.
Dear Elizabeth, we sail at noon.
I’ll bring you a present back
Dear Elizabeth, I’ll see you soon.
Goodbye for now, yours Jack.

His letters weren’t the usual ones
full of I love you my dear,
no kisses, no forget me nots,
but still one thing was clear.
He loved her dearly in his way
as a sailor honest and rough
for the way he began his sentences
to her was quite enough
Chorus
Dear Elizabeth, I hope this letter finds you
just the same as it leaves me.
Dear Elizabeth, we had a storm,
A Northwest gale at sea.
Dear Elizabeth, we sail at noon.
I’ll bring you a present back
Dear Elizabeth, I’ll see you soon.
Goodbye for now, yours Jack.



So now I sigh and shed a tear
about that man so fine
I think that’s what Elizabeth did
each time she read a line
and as she was sitting there at home,
as he sailed on the sea
they never knew his letters few
would do the same to me.
Chorus
Dear Elizabeth, I hope this letter finds you
just the same as it leaves me.
Dear Elizabeth, we had a storm,
A Northwest gale at sea.
Dear Elizabeth, we sail at noon.
I’ll bring you a present back
Dear Elizabeth, I’ll see you soon.
Goodbye for now, yours Jack.
