There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor

tomorrow for old England she sails

far away from your land of endless sunshine

to my land full of rainy skies and gales

and I shall be on aboard that ship tomorrow

though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly

and my ship be torn apart upon the sea

in the heaving waves that brought me once to thee

and should I return safe home again to England

I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
