They stood on the beach one evening Out in the moonlight fair Twas a boy in the pride of manhood And a girl in beauty rare I never had thought that you loved me An innocent look of surprise Crept out from beneath her lashes And into those deep brown eyes Oh sir I was only flirting Only a playing a part Just another boy's life ruined Just another broken heart Sir I'm to be married this winter Farewell and she gave me her hand And drawing a robe around her She left me alone on the sand He goes with a crowd of pastors ? Always bitter and cold Just another boy grown weary Just another boy grown old There's a rose grows in your garden White rose is the symbol of peace And when I am dead little darling Plant that rose at my head and my feet Oh sir I was only flirting Only a playing a part Just another boy's life ruined Just another broken heart
