lovely nancy - kimber's men lyrics

{verse 1]
well, here’s adieu sweet lovely nancy
ten thousand times adieu
i’m a’goin’ across the ocean love
to seek for something new

come change your ring with me dear girl
come change your ring with me
that it might be a token of true love
while i am on the sea

[verse 2]
when i am afar upon the sea
you’ll know not where i am
kind letters i will write to you
from every foreign land

the secrets of your mind dear girl
are the best of my good will
oh, let my body be where it might
me hear is with you still

[verse 3]
there’s a heavy storm now rising
see how it gathers ’round
while we poor jolly sailors
are fighting for the crown
our officer commanded us
and him we must obey
expecting every moment
all to be cast away

[verse 4]
there are tinkers, tailors, and shoemakers
lie snoring in their sleep
while we poor souls on the ocean wide
are ploughing through the deep

there’s nothing to defend us love
nor to keep us from the cold
on the ocean wide, where we must bide
like jolly seamen bold

[verse 5]
oh, and when the wars are all over
they’ll be peace on every shore
we will drink to our wives and our children
and the girls that we adore

we’ll call for liquor, go merrily
and spend our money free
and when our money is gone
we’ll boldly go out to sea
