The L051? Farewell

Made Famous 8y. ROGER WHITI'AKER

(Q www.singtotheworld.com
Introduction
El III E El El
There's a ship lies

rigged and ready in the
harbour
There's a ship lies

rigged and ready in 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 beautiful,

and I have loved you

dearly. More dearly

than the spoken word
can tell
I 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 sea
I shall smell again

the fragrance of these
islands
And the heaving waves

that brought me once to
thee
And should I return safe

home 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
