| It was on one Monday’s morning as I crossed o’er the Moors
|
| I had little thought of listing 'til the Soldiers did me cross
|
| The company enticed me to drink their health all around
|
| And the bounty
|
| And the bounty
|
| They gave me five guineas and a crown
|
| Now my head was full of drink, love, and I didn’t think of you
|
| And now I’m forced to go and join the orange and the blues
|
| Our ship she waits at anchor to take the flowing tide
|
| I’ll return, love
|
| I’ll return, love
|
| I’ll return, love
|
| I’ll return, love, in the springtime when I’ll make you my bride
|
| So early the next morning, before the break of day
|
| The Captain gave his orders and my love marched away
|
| All in your ranks and files, boys, all on your native shore
|
| Fare thee well, love, fare thee well love
|
| Fare thee well, love, fare thee well
|
| Fare thee well, love, you’re the lad that I adore
|
| But I hope you never prosper and I hope you always fail
|
| In everything you venture, I hope you ne’er do well
|
| And the very ground you walk upon, may the grass refuse to grow
|
| Since you’ve been the
|
| Since you’ve been the
|
| Since you’ve been the
|
| Since you’ve been the very cause of my sorrow grief and woe
|
| Well, it’s true my love has listed
|
| And he wears the blue cockade
|
| He is a handsome young man
|
| Likewise a roving blade
|
| He is a handsome young man and he’s gone to serve the king
|
| While my very
|
| While my very
|
| While my very
|
| While my very heart is aching all for the love of him
|
| Farewell |
