10000 Miles Away Lyrics & Chords By Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen

It's of a brave and a gallant ship With a fair an' a fav'ring breeze, And a goodly crew and a captain too, For to carry me over the seas. For to carry me over the seas, my boys, To my true love far away; I'm taking a trip on a Government ship Ten thousand miles away! And sing blow the winds high-o, A-roving I will go. I'll stay no more on England's shore For to hear the music play, For I'm off on the morning train And I won't be back again. For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship Ten thousand miles away. Oh, my true love she was beautiful, My true love she was young; Her eyes were like the diamonds bright And silvery was her tongue. And silvery was her tongue, my boys, As the big ship left the bay She said, will you remember me Ten thousand miles away? And sing blow the winds high-o, A-roving I will go. I'll stay no more on England's shore For to hear the music play, For I'm off on the morning train And I won't be back again. For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship Ten thousand miles away. Now the sun may shine through the London fog Or the river run quite clear, Or the ocean's brine turn into wine Or I forget my beer. Or I forget my beer, my boys, And the landlord's quarter-day Before I'll forget my own delight Ten thousand miles away. And sing blow the winds high-o, A-roving I will go. I'll stay no more on England's shore For to hear the music play, For I'm off on the morning train And I won't be back again. For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship Ten thousand miles away. And sing blow the winds high-o, A-roving I will go. I'll stay no more on England's shore For to hear the music play, For I'm off on the morning train And I won't be back again. For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship Ten thousand miles away.
