This is a somewhat sad song telling the story of a sailor coming home to his sweetheart only to find that in his absence she has married another. The same story as 'Johnny Todd'. Perhaps these two songs gave rise to 'dear John' letters.
The words of the song were written by Charles Damon to the air Sooree (courting).
