matthewdechant Origins: Clear Away in the Morning (Gordon Bok) (7) RE: Origins: Clear Away in the Morning 10 Jan 24


Here are the lyrics:

CLEAR AWAY IN THE MORNING
(Gordon Bok)

Take me back on the bay, boys
Clear away in the morning
I don't want to go ashore, boys
Oh, bring her 'round

Take me back on the bay, boys
Clear away in the morning
I don't want to spend my pay, boys
Oh, bring her 'round

Captain, don't you leave me
Clear away in the morning
There's no one here that needs me
Oh, bring her 'round

Nancy, oh my Nancy
Clear away in the morning
She never played it fancy
Oh, bring her 'round

Bring me wine and brandy
Clear away in the morning
I'd only ask for Nancy
Oh, bring her 'round

Captain, don't let the main down
Clear away in the morning
Oh, captain, don't let the chain run
Oh, bring her 'round

Captain, don't you need me?
Clear away in the morning
"There's nothing I can do, boy"
Oh, bring her 'round

Nancy, oh my Nancy
Clear away in the morning
Nancy, oh my Nancy
Oh, bring her 'round

Take me back on the bay, boys
Clear away in the morning
I don't want to go ashore, boys
Oh, bring her 'round
