Lyrics	I've a letter from thy sire, Baby mine-- baby mine; I could read and never tire, Baby mine--baby mine. He is sailing o'er the sea, He is coming back to me, He is coming back to me, Baby mine-- baby mine, He is coming back to me, Baby mine. Oh! I long to see his face, Baby mine-- baby mine, In his old accustomed place, Baby mine-- baby mine. Like the rose of May in bloom, Like a star amid the gloom, Like the sunshine in the room, Baby mine-- baby mine, Like the sunshine in the room, Baby mine. I'm so glad I cannot sleep, Baby mine-- baby mine, I'm so happy I could weep, Baby mine-- baby mine. He is sailing o'er the sea, He is coming back to me, He is coming back to thee, Baby mine-- baby mine, He is coming back to thee, Baby mine.
