OK - I have it all, but for uncertainty over one word. "quay"? at the end of line 2 in verse 4. I think he pronounces it "kay" for the rhyme. Welsh Back Quay - Ian Dye From Welsh Back Quay I said goodbye To sweethearts, wives and friends And down the Marsh we sailed away To wind through Avon's bends. Chorus: Don't tie me to the bollard, mate Don't lash me to the mast. I'm bound away for Klondike shore This voyage will be my last. I've sailed the oceans far and wide I've sailed from Bristol town. I'm bound away on a Severn tide On a voyage the world around. I've seen St Elmo's raging fire And the fog on the Severn shore. I leave behind old Redcliffe spire And the girls I do adore. Goodbye to you in old Hotwells And the girls at Bristol quay. I hear the sound of Redcliffe's bells As we get her under way. I've been to sea for twenty years I've sailed to eastern shores But now I want to stay right here In Bristol evermore. Phil
