Bellowhead - 10,000 Miles Away lyrics

rate me

My true love, she was beautiful

My true love, she was fair

Her eyes were like the diamonds bright

And golden was her hair

And golden was her hair, my lads

As the big ship left the bay

She said will you remember me

Ten thousand miles away

And sing blow the winds high-o

A-roving I will go

I'll stay no more on England's shore

For to hear the music play

For I'm off on the morning train

And I won't be back again

I'm taking a trip on a Government ship

Ten thousand miles away

Oh, dark and dismal was the day

When last I saw my Meg

She'd a Government band around each hand

And another one around her leg

And another one around her leg, my lads

As the big ship sailed away

I said that I'd be true to her

Ten thousand miles away

And sing blow the winds high-o

A-roving I will go

I'll stay no more on England's shore

For to hear the music play

For I'm off on the morning train

And I won't be back again

I'm taking a trip on a Government ship

Ten thousand miles away

Oh, the sun may shine through a London fog

And the river run quite clear

And the ocean's brine would turn to win

And I'll forget my beer

And I'll forget my beer, my lads

And the landlords cannot pay

Before I'll forget my own dear Meg

Ten thousand miles away

And sing blow the winds high-o

A-roving I will go

I'll stay no more on England's shore

For to hear the music play

For I'm off on the morning train

And I won't be back again

I'm taking a trip on a Government ship

Ten thousand miles away
