A Canadian love song from 1931 Words by Edgar Leslie Music by Harry Warren

Lyrics
Across the foam and far from home
The sailor boy Pierre
Gazed upon the might in all its glory
Sweet mem’ries came and spoke the name
Of someone oh so fair
As his comrades heard him tell this story
Chorus
I left her by the river Sainte Marie
We pledged our love until eternity
Now along the pebbled pathway from her door
We kissed and then we kissed again
And parted on the shore
The angelus rang out upon the sea
I saw her kneel and say a prayer for me
When winter’s gone and spring is on
I’ll meet her by the river Sainte Marie
