Old England

My ship is waiting in Jamaica , for old England she sails

For all my life , I have been a sailor

Now I'm coming home for I have been away

Now I want to see good old England again

I have had to much of this travel , now I want to live out my life

On English lands

No more travelling , I want to walk down the old Kent road

When I get there I see my family, with all the tears and tales I will tell

Of all my adventures of just sailing on the sea

I had my life and I done that , now I want to come home

I left England in 1896 , now it 1901

Just to see England one more time

If I don't see tomorrow, if I don't reach England lands

Please write to my love ones, I wish I was on England golden lands

I have had my life for king and country

Now I want to be back on England lands

The ship is sailing, I be with you very soon

If I'm not ,I be very sad, for I love all of you

I hope I made you proud, for king and country I served

Now the storm in the sea is smashing my ship

The waves are coming over board

I'm scared we my not reach England harbour

Who knows what will be

But in my heart darling

Good old England belong to me
