I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne'er a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
No scorching sun
Nor freezing cold
Will stop me on my journey
If you will promise me your heart
And love me for eternity
My dearest one my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need of mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me
But I bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry
And I will keep you from all harm
If you will stay beside me
I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold
I only want you near me
To love to kiss to sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all life's toils and delights
I'll keep your love beside me
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne'er a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
If you will marry me
