Here’s Adieu, Sweet Lovely Nancy Lyrics – Peter Bellamy
Singer: Peter Bellamy
Title: Here’s Adieu, Sweet Lovely Nancy
Here’s adieu, sweet lovely Nancy
Ten thousand times adieu
I’m a-going around the ocean, love
To seek for something new
Come change your ring with me, dear girl
Come change your ring with me
For it might be a token of true love
While I am on the sea
When I am far upon the sea
You knows not where I am
Kind letters I will write to you
From every foreign land
The secrets of your mind, dear girl
Are thе best of my goodwill
So let my body be whеre it might
My heart is with you still
There’s a heavy storm a-rising
See how it gather round
While we poor sailors are on the sea
Are fighting for the crown
Our officer commanded us
And him we must obey
Expecting every moment
All to get cast away
There are tinkers, tailors and shoemakers
Lie snoring in their sleep
While we poor souls on the ocean wide
Are ploughing through the deep
There’s nothing to defend us, love
Nor to keep us from the cold
On the ocean wide where we must bide
Like jolly seamen bold
But when the wars are all over
There’ll be peace on every shore
We will drink to our wives and our children
And the girls that we adore
We’ll call for liquor merrily
And spend our money free
And when our money it is all gone
We’ll boldly go to sea
