Don’t you cry so, Norah, darling,
Wipe those tears away,
Don’t you cry so, Norah, darling,
Smile on me to-day;
See the wind is freshly blowing,
And the ship longs for the sea,
Be to-day your smiles bestowing
Sweetly, love, on me.
Chorus.—Don’t you cry so, Norah, darling,
Wipe those tears away;
Don’t you cry so, Norah, darling,
Smile on me to-day.
Though ’tis sad to leave you, darling,
I must no more stay,
Think of me, Norina, darling,
When I’m far away;
And, although to part brings sadness,
Keep your young heart light and free,
Your sweet face adorn with gladness,
Thinking still of me.
Don’t you cry so, Norah, darling,
Wipe those tears away,
Don’t you cry so, Norah, darling,
Smile on me to-day;
When from work I rest a-weary,
All my thoughts on you will be,
And my life will not seem dreary,
If you’re true to me.
