Alas, poor 
John, he was a prisoner
Fortune's fool for many a day
Blinded by that cursed diamond
With his freedom he must pay
And so it was for faithful 
ElzevirCast in chains for ten long years
With never a word of blame or anger
Just for John t'was only tears
Oh, oh, oh, only tears
Oh, oh, oh
Blow wind blow and send them home again
Set the sails for 
England's way
Many a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to 
Moonfleet 
BayAnd as for 
Grace she'd still be waiting
Waiting for her only love
Every night a candle burning at her window
Should he come
Oh, oh, oh, should he come
Oh, oh, oh
Blow wind blow and send them home again
Set the sails for 
England's way
Many a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to 
Moonfleet 
BayBlow wind blow and send them home again
Set the sails for 
England's way
Many a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to 
Moonfleet 
BayMany a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to 
Moonfleet
