Sleep while you wake me with these dreams you bring
Em
Dreams came to me where I lay

And deep the melody the wild waves sing

My love is far, far away

Oh, and pity the hearts the wild waves part

My love sails the bonny boat, the Bergen
[Verse 2]

They heap their nets upon the decks by night

Dreams came to me where I lay
F G C ~ Am
And creep out gently to the dead of night

My love is far, far away

They reap the harvest of a cold night sea

Dreams came to me where I lay

It leaps with herring 'neath its decks for me

My love is far, far away
[Chorus]

Oh, and pity the hearts the wild waves part

My love sails the bonny boat, the Bergen
[Verse 4]

Steep waves rise above its cold bare head

And keeping safe as I lie in my bed

My love is far, far away

It weeps with rain tonight where my love lies

And sweep the foreign sands from out his eyes

My love is far, far away

My love sails the bonny boat, the Bergen
