Lady, you are my peace of mind Were I to seek your par none I could find You delicately went to curry land And left a lonely man, ah me, yogi blue He thought to himself as he sat before His stocks and shares a dreadful bore If I'm to live another happy day I best make haste and be on my way He at his desk did write and indicate To lawyer, friend and intimate His lamentable grief did necessitate The need for one swift bird to sail the ocean o'er A sailing schooner was soon seen sailing, Swift and silent, around the sound Salutating seagulls heralding The wonderous transport upon the wing
Twenty days from Goa they did espire A wealthy merchant bound for Arabi-iy Echanging greetings, had he heard the news The Lady Hall had drowned, the price of Ninevah rose Storms and tempests his shatterd mind beset Hurricanes of pains raged and tore Truly drowned in grief, he did repair To haunted trinkets and gross despair All in white 'neath shade in bamboo chair Military discipline has replaced despair Anchored in the bay of innocence Is left a lonely man, lonely through and through Through and through Through and through
