[Verse 1]
Tell me my lover, what news from your shore
How do you fake now and are you still warm
Is it much better for you now I'm gone?
Will you remember me well to our son?

[Verse 2]
Tell him my story, he ought to know
How we were marched off and made to serve
How I came to be far and long from this side
Forced to surrender we gave up the fight
