[net.music.folk] Song lyrics and tune wanted

mej@ptsfa.UUCP (Mary Johnson) (01/18/85)

I found this verse of an Irish emigrant lament in a book called 
'Inside Ireland'.  I would like to find the tune, and any other verses
there may be.

   What will I do, love, when you are going
   With white sails flowing to the seas beyond?
   What will I do, love, when waves divide us,
   And friends may chide us for being fond?
   Though waves divide us and friends may chide us,
   Whate'er betide us I'll still be true,
   And I'll pray for you on the stormy ocean,
   With deep devotion, that's what I'll do.
