dan milner - ten thousand miles away lyrics

oh for a brave and a gallant ship
and a fair and a favoring breeze
with a bonny crew and a captain, too
to carry me o’er the seas
to carry me o’er the seas, me boys
to me true love far away
for i’m taking a trip on a government ship
ten thousand miles away

my true love, she was beautiful
my true love, she was young
her eyes were like the diamonds bright
and silv’ry was her tongue
and silv’ry 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 ye 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
“adieu,” says she, “remember me,”
“ten thousand miles away”

then, blow ye 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
so the landlord’s caught a day
but i’ll ne’er forget my own true love
ten thousand miles away
