  *++Lyrics:|\\
A Spanish cavalier stood in his retreat,\\
And on his guitar play'd a tune, dear,\\
The music so sweet, they'd ofttimes repeat,\\
The blessing of my country and you, dear.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Say, darling, say, when I'm far away,\\
Sometimes you may think of me, dear.\\
Bright sunny days will soon fade away.\\
Remember what I say and be true, dear.\\
\\
I'm off to war; to the war I must go\\
To fight for my country and you, dear,\\
But if I should fall, in vain I would call,\\
The blessing of my country and you, dear.\\
\\
When the war is o'er to you I'll return;\\
Back to my country and you, dear,\\
But if I be slain you must seek me in vain;\\
Upon the battlefield you will find me.\\
\\
