1. Willie, tho’ sad our parting,
  I’ll still be true to thee;
Fondly my heart will follow
  Ove the stormy sea!
Tho’ I shall miss thee, my darling,
  Tho’ I shall sorrow and sigh,
Yet thy dear words I’ll heed, love,
  I’ll wait ’till the clouds roll by!

CHORUS [sung after each VESE]
I’ll wait ’till the clouds roll by Willie,
  I’ll wiat ’till the clouds roll by;
Soon will the dawn be breaking,
  I’ll wait ’till the clouds roll by!

2. Willie, the days are weary,
  But long I’ll not repine;
Darkly the skies are frowning,
’Neath them the starrays shine!
Deep in my heart I will treasure
  Each tho’t of thee, tho’ I sigh;
Soon weill the sun be shining,
  I’ll wait ’till the clouds roll by!

3. Willie, tho’ far you’re sailing,
  I know again we’ll meet;
Brightly the future’s dawning,
  Tranquil, and fair, and sweet!
Love in the heart lives forever!
  Tho’ we may sorrow and sigh;
True to my love, my dearest,
  I’ll wait ’till the clouds roll by!
