[00:09.730]My true love she was beautiful
[00:11.770]My true love she was fair
[00:14.100]Her eyes were like the diamonds bright
[00:16.290]And golden was her hair
[00:18.730]And golden was her hair, my lads
[00:20.710]As the big ship left the bay
[00:23.000]She said will you remember me
[00:25.400]Ten thousand miles away!
[00:26.860]Chorus (after each verse):
[00:28.680]And sing blow the winds high-o
[00:30.860]A-roving I will go
[00:33.040]I'll stay no more on England's shore
[00:35.110]For to hear the music play
[00:37.390]For I'm off on the morning train
[00:39.630]And I won't be back again
[00:41.770]For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship
[00:43.810]Ten thousand miles away
[00:54.140]Oh dark and dismal was the day
[00:56.010]When last I saw my Meg
[00:58.540]She'd a Government band around each hand
[01:00.780]And another one around the leg
[01:02.860]And another one around the leg, my lads
[01:05.410]As the big ship sailed away
[01:07.590]I said that I'd be true to her
[01:09.420]Ten thousand miles away
[01:13.160]And sing blow the winds high-o
[01:15.190]A-roving I will go
[01:17.480]I'll stay no more on England's shore
[01:19.580]For to hear the music play
[01:22.180]For I'm off on the morning train
[01:24.160]And I won't be back again
[01:26.360]For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship
[01:28.380]Ten thousand miles away
[02:09.920] Oh the sun may shine through a London fog
[02:11.940]And the river run quite clear
[02:14.320]And the ocean's wine turn into brine
[02:17.360]And I'll forget my beer
[02:18.990]And I'll forget my beer, my lads
[02:20.810]And the landlord's cannot pay
[02:23.470]Before I'll forget my own dear Meg
[02:25.290]Ten thousand miles away
[02:30.950]And sing blow the winds high-o
[02:33.050]A-roving I will go
[02:35.440]I'll stay no more on England's shore
[02:37.520]For to hear the music play
[02:39.740]For I'm off on the morning train
[02:41.970]And I won't be back again
[02:44.310]For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship
[02:46.340]Ten thousand miles away
[02:48.730]And sing blow the winds high-o
[02:50.860]A-roving I will go
[02:53.040]I'll stay no more on England's shore
[02:55.180]For to hear the music play
[02:57.370]For I'm off on the morning train
[02:59.720]And I won't be back again
[03:01.890]For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship
[03:03.980]Ten thousand miles away
