Chorus: Beautiful light Beautiful light Beautiful light True love, I am on the ocean, on the sea, on the ocean; waiting for thee. Seven long years I've been married. I wish I had died an old maid. For I've never seen nothing but trouble, My husband won't work at his trade. He promised before we were married, That we would be gallant and gay; And every night of the winter We'd go to some ball or some play. I wish you'd go down to the bar room, And get him away if you can, For you never know what's going to happen To a foolish old drinking man. For I have to get up in the morningLabor and toil all the day; And then in the evening get supper And put the dear children away. What is the use of repenting; Where there's a will there's a way. Any old thing for a husband Is better than to be an old maid. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
