Oh! Farewell to you, my Nancy,
Ten thousand times adieu,
I'm bound to cross the ocean girl,
once more to part from you;
Once more to part from you, fine girl!
You're the girl that I adore,
But still I live in hopes to see,
Ol' Swansea Town once more.
Chorus:
Ol' Swansea Town once more, fine girl,
You're the girl that I adore,
But still I live in hopes to see,
Ol' Swansea Town once more.
Oh, it`s now that I am out at sea
And you are far behind.
Kind letters I will write to you
Of the secrets of my mind.
Of the secrets of my mind, fine girl,
You`re the girl I do adore,
But still I live in hopes to see
Ol' Swansea Town once more.
Chorus:
|
Oh, it`s now the storm is coming.
I can see it coming on.
The night as dark as anything
We can not see the moon.
We can not see the moon, fine girl,
Our rigging is all tore,
But still I live in hopes to see
Ol' Swansea Town once more.
Oh, it`s now the storm is over
And we are safe and ashore.
We`ll drink some drinks of brandy to
The girls that we adore
To the girls that we adore, fine girls!
We`ll make the tavern roar
And when there is no money left
We`ll go to sea once more.
Chorus:
We`ll go to sea once more, fine girl,
You`re the girl I do adore,
But still I live in hopes to see
Ol' Swansea Town once more
