Good Bye, Fare Thee Well
In Nelson’s day women waved goodbye to their men folk from this spot. Three hundred years later it still happens but today they use mobile phones and binoculars to grab that last look at a loved one. They still lose them for months on end and the parting’s still painful.
Good Bye, Fare Thee Well
We’re going away to leave you now
Good bye, fare thee well
Good bye, fare thee well
We’re going away to leave you now
Hoorah, me boys, we’re homeward boundAh, give me the girl with the bonny brown hair
Your hair of brown is the talk of the townSo fare you we’re homeward bound
Homeward bound to Liverpool townSo fill up your glasses for those who were kind
And drink to the girls we leaving behindWe’re homeward bound I hear them say
We’re homeward bound with eleven months payOur anchor we’ll weigh, our sails we will set
The friends we are leaving we’ll never forgettraditional Sea Shanty
