Adieu, sweet lovely Nancy Ten thousand times adieu I am going across the ocean, love To seek for something new
Come change your ring with me, dear girl Come change your ring with me For it might be a token of our true love While I am on the sea
And when I'm far upon the sea You'll know not where I am Kind letters I will write to you From every foreign land
The secrets of your heart, dear girl Are the best of my good will So let your body be where it might My heart will be with you still
There's a heavy storm arising See how it gathers round While we poor souls on the ocean wide Are fighting for the crown
There's nothing to protect us, love Or keep us from the cold On the ocean wide, where we must fight Like jolly seamen bold
There's tinkers, tailors, shoemakers Lie snoring fast asleep While we poor souls on the ocean wide Are plowing through the deep
Our officers commanded us And them we must obey Expecting every moment for To get cast away
But when the wars are over There'll be peace on every shore We'll return to our wives and our families And the girls that we adore
We'll drink our liquor merrily And spend our money free And when the money is all gone We'll boldly go to seaTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
