SWANSEA TOWN


CHORUS
I'm going home to Swansea town, the day is almost dawning
I'm going back to those sea port sounds, one lovely sea town morning.

I'm going home to Swansea town, to where those ways are brambled
' Neath the seatown sky, where seagulls fly and as a boy I rambled.

Long years ago I sailed away, the urge to roam came creeping
Yet somehow my heart got left behind, with a girl who stood there weeping.

In the quiet hours of the night time watch, I dream her there beside me
I see her face, I feel her grace, and peace wells up inside me.

I hope she's there beside that quay, I hope she's glad to see me
And I'll not leave that town again, no fortune will assuade me.

I think this may have been written by Max Boyce but I learned it recently from a friend who sings with a shanty group.
regards Baz
