Karaoké Dear Elizabeth Nathan Carter

Dear Elizabeth

I hope this letter finds you just the same as it leaves me

Dear Elizabeth

We had a storm a North West

Gale at sea

Oh dear Elizabeth

We sail at noon

I'll bring you a present back

Dear Elizabeth

I'll see you soon

Goodbye for now

Yours, Jack

My great grandfather sailed a season a clipper has made

He was born in Carney Shields back in eighty twenty-eight

And he courted dear Elizabeth who saved each letter from her bow

However read each fall each verse with tear

Yet I feel a glow

Dear Elizabeth

I hope this letter finds you just the same as it leaves me

Dear Elizabeth

We had a storm a North West

Gale at sea

Oh dear Elizabeth

We sail at noon and I'll bring you a present back

Dear Elizabeth

I'll see you soon

Goodbye for now

Yours, Jack

His letters weren't the usual ones

Full of I love you my dear

No kisses

No forget me not's

But still one thing was clear

Oh he loved her dearly in his way

As a sailor honest and ref

For the way he began each sentence to her was quite enough

Oh dear Elizabeth

I hope this letter finds you just the same as it leaves me

Dear Elizabeth

We had a storm a North West

Gale at sea

Oh dear Elizabeth

We sail at noon

I'll bring you a present back

Dear Elizabeth

I'll see you soon

Goodbye for now

Yours, Jack

So now I sigh and shed a tear about the man so fine

I think that's what Elizabeth did each time she read a line

And she was sittin' there at home as he sailed out to sea

They never knew his letters few could do the same for me

Oh dear Elizabeth

I hope this letter finds you just the same as it leaves me

Dear Elizabeth

We had a storm a North West

Gale at sea

Oh dear Elizabeth

We sail at noon

I'll bring you a present back

Dear Elizabeth

I'll see you soon

Goodbye for now

Yours, Jack

Dear Elizabeth

I hope this letter finds you just the same as it leaves me

Dear Elizabeth

We had a storm a North West

Gale at sea

Oh dear Elizabeth

We sail at noon

I'll bring you a present back

Dear Elizabeth

I'll see you soon

Goodbye for now

Yours, Jack
