jim moray - sweet england lyrics

Loading...

as i was a walking one morning in spring
to hear the larks whistle and the colly birds sing
i heard a sweet maiden a making a moan
but alas i’m a stranger, a long way from home

i came from sweet england with my mother and dad
and i thought in america all could be had
of gold, and of silver and acres galore
and i’d never need hunger in poverty more

but alas for sweet england, my father is dead
and my mother can earn but there’s little for bread
and i dream as i gaze o’ the far distant main
for a fine ship to take me to england again

now my mother is dead and i’m left all alone
but if i were in england no more would i roam
an aunt in thе country and she loves me amain
so won’t somе ship take me to england again?

there’s a neat little cottage with a rose at the door
and there with my aunt, i would live my life o’er
i’d nurse her in sickness and tend to her pain
and thank god i’m back in sweet england again

sweet england again
(won’t some ship take me?)
