See how my sisters turned against me

Coming from a 'singing' family I grew up listening to every Irish song ever written and continue to do so except one which my Gran used to sing. A topic of the times!

Once I was loved by a young sailor
Through his love he brought me shame
Now he's gone away and left me
With a stain upon my name

Chorous
See how my sisters turned against me
While my brothers do the same
See how darling mother loves me
While daddy hangs his head in shame

See how my clothes they are all tattered
While I keep my baby warm
Sleep on, sleep on my blue eyed treasure
Your daddy is not comming home
Chorous
