THERE'S A SHIP
LIES RIGGED AND READY
IN THE HARBOUR
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
AND I HAVE LOVED YOU DEARLY
MORE DEARLY THAN THE
SPOKEN WORD CAN TELL
FOR YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
AND I HAVE LOVED YOU DEARLY
MORE DEARLY THAN THE
SPOKEN WORD CAN TELL
I 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
AND I HAVE LOVED YOU DEARLY
MORE DEARLY THAN THE
SPOKEN WORD CAN TELL
FOR YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
AND I HAVE LOVED YOU DEARLY
MORE DEARLY THAN THE
SPOKEN WORD CAN TELL
THOUGH DEATH AND DARKNESS
GATHER ALL ABOUT ME
AND MY SHIP BE TORN APART
UPON THE SEA
I SHALL SMELL AGAIN
THE FRAGRANCE
OF THESE ISLANDS
IN THE HEAVING WAVES THAT
BROUGHT ME ONCE TO THEE
AND SHOULD I RETURN SAFE
HOME AGAIN TO ENGLAND
I SHALL WATCH
THE ENGLISH MIST
ROLL THROUGH THE DALE
FOR YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
AND I HAVE LOVED YOU DEARLY
MORE DEARLY THAN THE
SPOKEN WORD CAN TELL
FOR YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
AND I HAVE LOVED YOU DEARLY
MORE DEARLY THAN THE
SPOKEN WORD CAN TELL
