The Last Farewell
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbo
Tomorrow for old England she sail
Far away from your land of endless sunshin
To my land full of rainy skies and gale
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorro
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewel
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearl
More dearly than the spoken word can tel
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearl
More dearly than the spoken word can tel
I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazin
And the taste of war I know so very wel
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raisin
Their guns on fire as we sail into hel
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorro
But how bitter will be this last farewel
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearl
More dearly than the spoken word can tel
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearl
More dearly than the spoken word can tel
Though death and darkness gather all about m
My ship be torn apart upon the sea
I shall smell again the fragrance of these island
And the heaving waves that brought me once to the
And should I return home safe again to Englan
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dal
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearl
More dearly than the spoken word can tel
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearl
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
