A sea burthen
Language:
English
A ship swinging as the tide swings up and down,
And men's voices singing
East away, O! West away
And a very long way from London Town,
A very long way from London Town.
A lantern glowing and the stars looking down,
And the seaswells flowing
East away, O! West away
And a very long way from London Town,
A very long way, a long way from London Town.
Lights in wild weather from a tavern window old and brown,
And men singing together, men singing together,
East away, O! West away
And a very long way from London Town,
A very long way, a long way from London Town.
A ship swinging as the tide swings up and down,
And men's voices singing
East away, O! West away
And a very long way from London Town,
A very long way from London Town.
