I Wish I Was In England Lyrics & Chords By Nadia Birkenstock

Oh long time I have been roaming
In country and in town
But never in my wandering met
A maid of such renown.

Oh until I met my true love
On the slopes of Knocknashee
Her long hair in the howling wind
A-blowing wild and free.

Oh I wish that I was in England,
In France or even in Spain
Or wherever dwells my own true love
To hold her near again.

Oh my true love she did promise me
Some land with rambling kine
And on her ample pasture land
To build a mansion fine.

Oh but then my love she left me
And she travelled far away,
And I've been searching for my love
For many's the night and day.

So I wish that I was in England
Or wherever she might be
That I could go and call her name
And have her close to me.
