| [00:03.915] |
Adieu, sweet lovely Nancy, |
| [00:06.418] |
Ten thousand times adieu |
| [00:08.164] |
I'm a-going across the ocean, love |
| [00:11.547] |
To seek for something new |
| [00:15.246] |
Come change your ring with me, dear girl |
| [00:18.909] |
Come change your ring with me |
| [00:22.587] |
For it might be a token of true love while I am on the sea |
| [00:29.948] |
And when I'm across the sea you'll know not where I am |
| [00:37.119] |
Kind letters I will write to you from every foreign land |
| [00:44.399] |
The secrets of your heart, dear girl are the best of my good will |
| [00:52.046] |
And let my body be where it might |
| [00:55.718] |
My heart will be with you still |
| [00:59.814] |
There's a heavy storm arising |
| [01:03.323] |
See how it gathers round |
| [01:07.154] |
While we poor souls on the ocean wide are fighting for the crown |
| [01:14.535] |
There's nothing to protect us, love |
| [01:18.277] |
Or keep us from the cold |
| [01:21.821] |
On the ocean wide, where we must bide like jolly seamen bold |
| [01:29.319] |
And when the wars are over |
| [01:33.052] |
There'll be peace on every shore |
| [01:36.816] |
We'll return to our wives and our families |
| [01:40.575] |
And the girls that we adore |
| [01:44.346] |
We'll drink our liquor merrily |
| [01:48.160] |
And spend our money free |
| [01:51.400] |
And when our money is all gone - we will boldly go to sea |
