There's a girl in my hometown
Took my heart and she threw me down
Said our love could never be
Now my life is a lonely sea
Now I drift from shore to shore
Never see her face no more
Never hold her in my arms
Never know her golden charms
Now the girl with the eyes of blue
I said my love for you is true
But she gave her heart away
I'm alone, what can I say
Now at night when the cold winds blow
I call her name and I miss her so
Miss the girl with the golden charms
Long to hold her in my arms
Now I drift from shore to shore
Never see her face no more
Never hold her in my arms
Never know her golden charms
Took my heart and she threw me down
Said our love could never be
Now my life is a lonely sea
Now I drift from shore to shore
Never see her face no more
Never hold her in my arms
Never know her golden charms
Now the girl with the eyes of blue
I said my love for you is true
But she gave her heart away
I'm alone, what can I say
Now at night when the cold winds blow
I call her name and I miss her so
Miss the girl with the golden charms
Long to hold her in my arms
Now I drift from shore to shore
Never see her face no more
Never hold her in my arms
Never know her golden charms
