Oh! let me be on the stormy sea,
Where darksome clouds arise;
When the waters dash and the lightnings flash,
Along the dismal skies;
There I should be so wild and free.
Oh! let me roam, on the ocean wave
Oh! give me a home.
Oh! let me be on the stormy sea,
When the tempests madly rave;
Where no voice is heard, save the wild sea bird,
