Botany Bay

歌詞

Farewell to old England forever Farewell to me sweetheart as well Oh keep me child safe in your arms love I need you like no words can tell Too ra ly too ra ly adity Too ra ly too ra ly ay Too ra ly too ra ly adity Sailing to Botany Bay The captain that is our commander He sails by the stars and the sun If e'er well I live I'll return again To me darling sweet kisses I'd run. CHORUS For seven long years he's transported Seven long years and a day Oh I wish I were drowned on the ocean bed For they've taken my truelove away CHORUS If I had the wings of a turtle dove I'd soar on me pinions and fly I'd fly to the arms of me Polly love And in her sweet bosom I'd lie. CHORUS
