letra de isle of st helena - mary black

now bony he has gone from his wars all a-fightin’
he has gone to the place where he takes no delight in
and there he may sit down and tell the sights he’s seen of
when full long doth he mourn on the isle of st. helena

no more in st. cloud will he’ll appear in great splendor
nor step forth from the crowdlike the great alexander
he may look to the east , while he thinks of hana
with is heart full of war, on the isle of st. helena

the wide rushing waves all around the shores a-washin’
and the wide billows heaves on the wild rocks are dashin’
he may look over the main to the great mount diana
with his eyes on the waves that surround st. helena
oh, louisy she weeps for her husband’s departin’
and she dreams while she sleeps and she wakes broken-hearted
there is none to console her, thought there is many to be with her
while alone she does mourn while she thinks of st. helena

so you that have wealth, beware of ambition
for there is some twist of fate could soon change your condition
be steadfast in time what’s to come change you cannot
for maybe your race will end on the isle of st. helena
