The Last Farewell |
| There’s a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor |
| Tomorrow for old England she sails |
| Far away from your land of endless sunshine |
| To my land full of rainy skies and gales |
| And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow |
| Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell |
| For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly |
| More dearly than the spoken word can tell |
| For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly |
| More dearly than the spoken word can tell |
| I’ve heard there’s a wicked war a-blazing |
| And the taste of war I know so very well |
| Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising |
| Their guns on fire as we sail into hell |
| I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow |
| But how bitter will be this last farewell |
| For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly |
| More dearly than the spoken word can tell |
| For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly |
| More dearly than the spoken word can tell |
| Though death and darkness gather all about me My ship be torn apart upon the seas |
| I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands |
| And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee |
| And should I return home safe again to England |
| I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale |
| For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly |
| More dearly than the spoken word can tell |
| For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly |
| More dearly than the spoken word can tell |
