What is this place how hard is my fate? How galling this chain round my neck? Now I am bound to slavery 'Til I regain my liberty Once i was a tender child on my mother's knee But now I am prison bound for slavery No pen can write, no tongue can tell The aching heart that bids farewell Forget me not When this you see, remember me Though many miles we distant be When this you see, remember me When this you see, remember me Please bear me in your mind I'll love til death shall stop my breath Weep not for me with this heavy heart I am confined here with grief Though time may fly and hopes may die And joyful dreams may set, you I'll never forget May time roll on, quick though it flew My love's constant true to you 'Til I am free and me you see No pen can write, no tongue can tell The aching heart that bids farewell Forget me not When this you see, remember Though many miles we distant be When this you see, remember me When this you see, remember me Let not absence banish our love Cause I'll love til death shall stop my breath I'll love til death shall stop my breath
