10,000 Miles Away Lyrics by Musical Blades

Pieces of Eight (And Treasures Of Old)

0

Ho! For a brave an' a galant ship
An' a fast an' fav'rin' breeze
With a bully crew an' a captain too
To carry me o'er the seas;
To carry me o'er the seas, me boys
To me true love far away
For I'm takin' a trip on a government ship
Ten thousand miles away
Then blow, ye winds hi ho!
An' a-rovin' I will go
I'll stay no more on England's shore
To hear the music play
I'm off the bounding main
And I won't be back again
For I'm on the move to me own true love
Ten thousand miles away
My true love she was beautiful
My true love she was young
But she's takеn a trip on a government ship
Bound out to Botany Bay;
Bound out to Botany Bay, m'boys
An' though she's far away
I'll nеver forget me own true love
Ten thousand miles away!
Then blow, ye winds hi ho!
An' a-rovin' I will go
I'll stay no more on England's shore
To hear the music play
I'm off the bounding main
And I won't be back again
For I'm on the move to me own true love
Ten thousand miles away
It was a summer mornin'
When I last had seen me Meg
She'd a government band around each hand
An' another one round her leg;
An' another one round her leg, m'boys
As the big ship left the bay
"Adieu", said she, "remember me
Ten thousand miles away"!
Then blow, ye winds hi ho!
An' a-rovin' I will go
I'll stay no more on England's shore
To hear the music play
I'm off the bounding main
And I won't be back again
For I'm on the move to me own true love
Ten thousand miles away
I wish I was a boatswain bold
Or a sailor without fear
I'd man a boat and away I'd float
An' straight to me true love steer;
An' straight to me true love steer, m'boys
Where the whales an' dolphin play
Where the whales an' sharks are havin' their larks
Ten thousand miles away
Then blow, ye winds hi ho!
An' a-rovin' I will go
I'll stay no more on England's shore
To hear the music play
I'm off the bounding main
And I won't be back again
For I'm on the move to me own true love
Ten thousand miles away
Then blow, ye winds hi ho!
An' a-rovin' I will go
I'll stay no more on England's shore
To hear the music play
I'm off the bounding main
And I won't be back again
For I'm on the move to me own true love
Ten thousand miles away
