Bellowhead - 10,000 Miles Away lyrics

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! Chorus (after each verse): 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 For 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 the leg And another one around the leg, my lads As the big ship sailed away I said that I'd be true to her Ten thousand miles away Chorus Oh the sun may shine through a London fog And the river run quite clear And the ocean's wine turn into brine And I'll forget my beer And I'll forget my beer, my lads And the landlord's cannot pay Before I'll forget my own dear Meg Ten thousand miles away Chorus Chorus
