john edmond - farewell brittania lyrics
oh, i can see a jacket of red and white and blue
some lions and a unicorn, a harp, a bulldog too
i see some shiny jewels that sparkle in a crown
some hearts of oak, some daffodils and hills of thistledown
is this good-bye now, my greaten britannia
farewell britannia, adieu!
must i leave you now, my greaten britannia
will this be my last good-bye to you!
must i say good-bye to david and george and patrick too
to andrew and the cousins and to all the folks i knew
it was a family quarrel and i’m too beat to scold
you close the door and left me here standing in the cold
is this good-bye now, my greaten britannia
farewell britannia, adieu!
must i leave you now, my greaten britannia
will this be my last good-bye to you!
i’ve got my red flame lilly, my bird of mystery
i’ve got my own young lion that will walk the road with me
the coat i wear just isn’t the one that i once wore
you’ll find the old one hanging there behind your bolted door
is this good-bye now, my greaten britannia
farewell britannia, adieu!
must i leave you now, my greaten britannia
will this be my last good-bye to you!
