| [00:09.730] |
My true love she was beautiful |
| [00:11.770] |
My true love she was fair |
| [00:14.100] |
Her eyes were like the diamonds bright |
| [00:16.290] |
And golden was her hair |
| [00:18.730] |
And golden was her hair, my lads |
| [00:20.710] |
As the big ship left the bay |
| [00:23.000] |
She said will you remember me |
| [00:25.400] |
Ten thousand miles away! |
| [00:26.860] |
Chorus (after each verse): |
| [00:28.680] |
And sing blow the winds high-o |
| [00:30.860] |
A-roving I will go |
| [00:33.040] |
I'll stay no more on England's shore |
| [00:35.110] |
For to hear the music play |
| [00:37.390] |
For I'm off on the morning train |
| [00:39.630] |
And I won't be back again |
| [00:41.770] |
For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship |
| [00:43.810] |
Ten thousand miles away |
| [00:54.140] |
Oh dark and dismal was the day |
| [00:56.010] |
When last I saw my Meg |
| [00:58.540] |
She'd a Government band around each hand |
| [01:00.780] |
And another one around the leg |
| [01:02.860] |
And another one around the leg, my lads |
| [01:05.410] |
As the big ship sailed away |
| [01:07.590] |
I said that I'd be true to her |
| [01:09.420] |
Ten thousand miles away |
| [01:13.160] |
And sing blow the winds high-o |
| [01:15.190] |
A-roving I will go |
| [01:17.480] |
I'll stay no more on England's shore |
| [01:19.580] |
For to hear the music play |
| [01:22.180] |
For I'm off on the morning train |
| [01:24.160] |
And I won't be back again |
| [01:26.360] |
For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship |
| [01:28.380] |
Ten thousand miles away |
| [02:09.920] |
Oh the sun may shine through a London fog |
| [02:11.940] |
And the river run quite clear |
| [02:14.320] |
And the ocean's wine turn into brine |
| [02:17.360] |
And I'll forget my beer |
| [02:18.990] |
And I'll forget my beer, my lads |
| [02:20.810] |
And the landlord's cannot pay |
| [02:23.470] |
Before I'll forget my own dear Meg |
| [02:25.290] |
Ten thousand miles away |
| [02:30.950] |
And sing blow the winds high-o |
| [02:33.050] |
A-roving I will go |
| [02:35.440] |
I'll stay no more on England's shore |
| [02:37.520] |
For to hear the music play |
| [02:39.740] |
For I'm off on the morning train |
| [02:41.970] |
And I won't be back again |
| [02:44.310] |
For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship |
| [02:46.340] |
Ten thousand miles away |
| [02:48.730] |
And sing blow the winds high-o |
| [02:50.860] |
A-roving I will go |
| [02:53.040] |
I'll stay no more on England's shore |
| [02:55.180] |
For to hear the music play |
| [02:57.370] |
For I'm off on the morning train |
| [02:59.720] |
And I won't be back again |
| [03:01.890] |
For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship |
| [03:03.980] |
Ten thousand miles away |
