The Roaming Man

Out by the cliff side,
Down by the shore.
I left my dear sweetheart,
Might see her no more.

I sail off to heaven,
Or perhaps into hell.
We’re crossing the Maelstrom
So we cannot tell.

We’re leaving the old world,
The new one to see.
To seek our fortune,
Rich men we’ll be.

We’ll fight for our nation,
We’ll fight for the gods.
We’ll bring them victory,
What ever the odds.

And when we’re wealthy,
We’ll sail off to home.
I’ll marry my sweetheart,
No more shall I roam.

A short song I started thinking about on the way to work yesterday and finished of on the way home from the pub last night. It's supposed to be a short folk style song for the Maelstrom LRP world. As I have no real musical talent it's set to the tune of 'On top of spaghetti' which is a song I knew from childhood; it probably isn't the original song to that tune but it is the one i know. So I guess this kinda makes it filkish

I don't know if others would count it as romantic, but to me the whole point of the story in the song is the singer is doing it all for his girl.
