[00:02.29]Composed by:Roger Whittaker/Ronald Arthur Webster
[00:03.42]Produced by:Jack Gold
[00:08.39]There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
[00:15.50]Tomorrow for old England she sails
[00:22.12]Far away from your land of endless sunshine
[00:28.91]To my land that's full of rainy skies and gales
[00:36.28]And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
[00:42.85]Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
[00:51.04]For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
[01:00.19]More dearly than the spoken word can tell
[01:07.05]I've heard that there's a wicked war a-blazing
[01:13.54]And the taste of war I know so very well
[01:20.54]Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
[01:25.80]A-raising
[01:27.47]Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
[01:34.28]I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
[01:40.94]But how bitter will be this last farewell
[01:49.06]For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
[01:58.21]More dearly than the spoken word can tell
[02:05.18]Though death and darkness gather all about me
[02:11.57]And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
[02:18.35]I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
[02:23.99]These islands
[02:25.40]And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
[02:32.13]And should I return safe home again to England
[02:38.88]I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
[02:47.01]For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
[02:56.09]More dearly than the spoken word can tell
[03:04.08]For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
[03:13.13]More dearly than the spoken word can tell
