Just one last glance at these shores as I leave them Would that I was lying now on my love’s sweet breast But our anchor is weighed and the wind fills our sails Farewell Rose, Farewell Rose of England.
Bad fortunes way can’t find for me employment No master is there in this land can hire a better man But these desperate days force me out on the waves Farewell Rose, Farewell Rose of England.
In three long years when my voyage I’ve completed Riches more than her eyes have seen to my love I’ll go These hard times we’ve known will be banished and flown Farewell Rose Farewell Rose of England.
