When Ships Put Out To Sea

I     It's "Sweet, good-bye," when pennants fly     And ships put out to sea;     It's a loving kiss, and a tear or two     In an eye of brown or an eye of blue;--     And you'll remember me,     Sweetheart,     And you'll remember me. II     It's "Friend or foe?" when signals blow     And ships sight ships at sea;     It's clear for action, and man the guns,     As the battle nears or the battle runs;--     And you'll remember me,     Sweetheart,     And you'll remember me. III     It's deck to deck, and wrath and wreck     When ships meet ships at sea;     It's scream of shot and shriek of shell,     And hull and turret a roaring hell;--     And you'll remember me,     Sweetheart,     And you'll remember me. IV     It's doom and death, and pause a breath     When ships go down at sea;     It's hate is over and love begins,     And war is cruel whoever wins;--     And you'll remember me,     Sweetheart,     And you'll remember me.
