Oh wake up my darlin' the night is old |
|
Dawn is falling on the valley below |
|
Today you must leave for a far distant shore |
|
Oh wake up, the night is old |
|
Hearts will be breaking by the harbour today |
|
Children will be crying and mothers will pray |
|
As sweethearts and fathers and sons sail away |
|
Oh hearts will be breaking today |
|

|
From the place you'll be working across the great sea |

|
On that fine day you come home back to us in spring |
|
Drink will be flowing and the churchbells will ring |
|
There'll be money a plenty and the children will sing |
|
On that fine day you come home in spring |
|
Oh wake up my darlin' the night is old |
|
Dawn is falling on the valley below |
|
Today you must leave for a far distant shore |
|
Oh wake up, the night is old |
