My name is Shore, though I work the land That my Father gave me with his own hand That my father gave me as he went to war For to help the King, and was seen no more And he left me sisters, but brothers none For our mother gave him no strapping son So the earth is tilled by the maids she bore My sisters three and Susanna Shore I had a sweetheart who courted me And the finest lad in the whole country And we made our promise just a month before The King decided to go to war And my darling boy took the coin of blood And I begged and pleaded, but it did no good For he had the shilling, but to me he swore "I will yet return to Susanna Shore" And the war went well, and the war was won But it seems that fighting is never done And from my sweet love there was not one word "He is not reported" was all I heard So my heart grew tired, and my hope grew faint And I knew him dead through my weary wait And I spilled my tears for the words he swore "I will come back to my Susanna Shore" On an Autumn day, when the wind blew keen Came a sergeant clad in his coat of green He stepped so weary to my own front door And I knew at once what his message bore "You can keep your sorrow on this dark day "I have mourned full well since he went away "Now that you have come, I can mourn no more "He will not return to Susanna Shore" But the sergeant wept and he caught my hand Not a word he spoke, he could barely stand And my heart grew faint as at last I saw My darling boy safely home from war "Can you forgive me?" at last he said "A foolish man that you thought was dead "I have returned and I'll fight no more "I have come back to Susanna Shore" So here I stand on my wedding day The black of mourning is put away I will wear white and I will wear joy As I am wed to my lovely boy Come one, come all, raise your spirits high This very night in his arms I'll lie I'll leave the name that I knew before This is my last as Susanna Shore Come one, come all, raise your glasses high This very night in his arms I'll lie I'll leave the name that I knew before This is my last as Susanna Shore
