bobby's girl Lyr Req: The Last of England (7) RE: Lyr Req: The Last of England 23 Nov 99


In case you haven't got the words yet -

Wasted and worn, tattered and torn From the land I love best, on a ship sailing west Round me they cried, she leaned and sighed "Farewell, its the last of England"

Chorus Thousands are sailing far from this shore To a promise of freedom, hpoe for the poor Round me they cried, she leaned and sighed "Farewell, its the last of England"

Chorus

Thoughts of the past flooded my mind Tears filled our eyes, no words could we find As we set sail into the gale Farewell, its the last of England

Chorus

Those who're mistreated, put down abused By moneyed and landed, all help refused They've made their choice to cry with one voice Farewell its the last of England

Chorus

We gave our all, answered the call Oftimes cast down, with our backs to the wall No more we'll stand on your struggling strand Farewell, its the last of England

Chorus
