I'm sad when I think of my Rose Mary
Sometimes I think my heart will break in two
I left her back home out in Italy
Where sunshine is bright and skies are always blue
[?]
Birds are singing, love they're bringing, too!
On the shores of Italy!
There my sweetheart waits for me
In my dreams I always hear, how she says baby
Come back to me, and I'll paint a ship someday
Then, I'll sail far, far away
Oh my Mary always I see, is calling me
On the shores of Italy!
My Rose Mary's eyes are so beautiful!
They look just like a thousand diamond ball
The birds have no fear when they notice me
They think of her, the sweetest sound of love
Oh, how my heart for her adores
My sweet baby, I'll see maybe soon!
On the shores of Italy!
There my sweetheart waits for me
In my dreams I always hear, how she says baby
Come back to me, and I'll paint a ship someday
Then, I'll sail far, far away
Oh my Mary always I see, is calling me
On the shores of Italy!
And I'll paint a ship someday
Then, I'll sail far, far away
Oh my Mary always I see, is calling me
On the shores of Italy!
