On an evening long ago when the sun was sinking low
My true lover went to sall upon the sea
It was in the month of june when the roses were in bloom
When he took me in his arms said to me

You're a flower that is blooming in the wildwood
Flower that is blooming there for me
Sweeter than the morning dew when I'll soon return to you
You're a flower that is blooming there for me

Than a letter came to me from a captain on the sea
That told me my darling was dead
On the shock and great surprise made the teardrops in my eyes
When I thought about the last words that he said

* Refrain

Now he can't return to me he got drowned in the sea
And has done passed over lifes weary way
When it's in the month of june and the roses are in bloom
It seems that I can hear my lover say

* Refrain
