I heard thee sing in the Church above the Ocean
I heard thee sing, my Pretty Boy
Far from my jaunty palaces,
I have come to thee, my Pretty Boy
I, to thee, will give my maiden virtues
I, to thee, will give my maiden joy
Sleep within my ocean land
Sleep with me, my Pretty Boy, and live with me
Far away from earthly cares above;
Far away from earthly cares above
There is no Death any sweeter than my living
There is no Death where I belong
Far from the world of dying men
Come now, away with me, my Pretty Boy
Thou shalt be a prince among the princes
Thou shalt be a prince of high degree
Oh, man of beauty
Oh, men and maid, both are beautiful
Come away with me, beneath the Sea
Come away with me, beneath the Sea
Green, are mine eyes, as the waters of the Ocean
Red, mine hair, my Pretty Boy
White, mine breasts, upon the waves
All I will give to thee, my Pretty Boy
Soft, mine arms, that I shalt put around thee
Soft, too, my lips that I shalt yield
Deep within our Ocean bed
Deep within, my Pretty Boy, just you and I
Far away from earthly cares above
Far away from earthly cares above
Far, far away
Far away
