Letter came to Marie's door
That had sailed across the sea
Sent by her true love saying
"Love come rendezvous with me"

Now she jumped on her golden horse
And rode it across the land
All through the rugged countryside
The reins gripped in her hands

And as she rode on through the streets
Her beauty graced the scene
All passerbys took her to be the
Image of a queen

She reached the dock and said
"I will cross the raging sea"
The captain laughed and told her
"Miss that depends upon your fee"

"If you can promise me a crew
That can be both true and bold
Then you will be rewarded"
And she tossed him a bag of gold

They sailed across the waves
Where the sun meets the sky
She stood boldfaced and watched the moon
As another day gone by

And when they reached the land
She rode up to her true love's door
And there she met with a terrible sight
That shocked her to the core

He lay sick in his silken sheets
With riches around his bed
He said to Marie to her surprise
"In the morning I'll be dead"

He'd grown so thin his head flopped down
And his tears began to flow
"My rambling ways never told you
How much I loved you so"

She spoke composed with tiny tears
Racing across her eyes
"Here's the ring you gave me
When we walked side by side"

"My necklace has 9 fine pearls
Each year you've been gone
When you took away your silver voice
And your melancholy song"

She then took off her emerald brooch
Said "Take this gift from me"
"It's like the green grass meadow
On the day I set you free"

She threw her arms around his neck
She made her final plea
And off he slipped into the night
As if he had gone to sleep

And she returned back to her ship
Clutching her weeping heart
She turned her eyes up to the rain
As the clouds began to part

Saying "If I stare toward heaven
And see the lightning flashing high
Then I will know that its my true love
Calling me to his side"

And they rode and rode on the raging sea
And an unforgiving wind
Capsized the ship with a mighty wave
And she was never seen again
