There's a ship lies
rigged and ready
in the harbor
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've 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 seas
I shall smell
again the fragrance
of these islands
And the heaving
waves that brought
me once to thee
And should I return
home safe 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
