Ten Thousand Miles Away Songtext
Oh, for brave and a gallant ship and a fair and a favouring breeze
With a bully crew and a captain, too, to carry me over the seas
To carry me over 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 me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin's shore to hear the fiddlers play
I′m off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
My true love she was beautiful, my true love she was young
Her eyes were like the diamonds bright, and silvery was her tongue
And silvery was her tongue, me lads, as the big ship left the bay
And she said, "will you remember me ten thousand miles away?"
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin′s shore to hear the fiddlers play
I'm off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
It was a dark and a dismal day when last I saw my Peg
She'd a government band around each hand
And another one ′round her leg
And another one ′round her leg, me boys, as the big ship left the bay
"Would you," said she, "remember me ten thousand miles away?"
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin' I will go
I′ll stay no more on Erin's shore to hear the fiddlers play
I′m off on the bounding main, and I won't be back again
For I′m on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
Oh, the sun may shine through the Dublin fog
And the Liffey run quite clear
And the ocean brine turn into wine, and I forget my beer
And I forget my beer, me boys, or the landlord's quarter day
But I'll ne′er forget my own true love ten thousand miles away
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin′s shore to hear the fiddlers play
I'm off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin's shore to hear the fiddlers play
I′m off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
With a bully crew and a captain, too, to carry me over the seas
To carry me over 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 me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin's shore to hear the fiddlers play
I′m off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
My true love she was beautiful, my true love she was young
Her eyes were like the diamonds bright, and silvery was her tongue
And silvery was her tongue, me lads, as the big ship left the bay
And she said, "will you remember me ten thousand miles away?"
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin′s shore to hear the fiddlers play
I'm off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
It was a dark and a dismal day when last I saw my Peg
She'd a government band around each hand
And another one ′round her leg
And another one ′round her leg, me boys, as the big ship left the bay
"Would you," said she, "remember me ten thousand miles away?"
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin' I will go
I′ll stay no more on Erin's shore to hear the fiddlers play
I′m off on the bounding main, and I won't be back again
For I′m on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
Oh, the sun may shine through the Dublin fog
And the Liffey run quite clear
And the ocean brine turn into wine, and I forget my beer
And I forget my beer, me boys, or the landlord's quarter day
But I'll ne′er forget my own true love ten thousand miles away
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin′s shore to hear the fiddlers play
I'm off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
Then, blow me winds hi-ho, a-rovin′ I will go
I'll stay no more on Erin's shore to hear the fiddlers play
I′m off on the bounding main, and I won′t be back again
For I'm on the move to my own true love ten thousand miles away
