THE LAST FAREWELL.

There's a ship lies rigged and readyin the harbour,
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 beautifull
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell.

For you are beautifull
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell.

I heard there's a wicked war ablazing
And the taste of war I know so very well.
Even now I see the foreign flag araising,
Their guns on fire as we sailed into hell.
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow,
But how bitter will be this last farewell.

Refrein....

Though death and darkness gather all around me
And my ship be torn apart upon the sea.
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands,
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee.
And should I return home safe again to England,
I shall watch the English mist through the dell.

Refrein.....
