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
