There's a girl in my hometown
Took my heart and she threw me down
Said our love could never be
Now my life is a lonely sea

Now I drift from shore to shore
Never see her face no more
Never hold her in my arms
Never know her golden charms

Now the girl with the eyes of blue
I said my love for you is true
But she gave her heart away
I'm alone, what can I say

Now at night when the cold winds blow
I call her name and I miss her so
Miss the girl with the golden charms
Long to hold her in my arms

Now I drift from shore to shore
Never see her face no more
Never hold her in my arms
Never know her golden charms
