C---------------G------C------------------------F------C------G Good-bye and fare ye well, for we'll sail no more to-geth-er, C--------------------------------G-C-----F-----------G Up and down the deep seas, in fair or foul weath-er: -------C------------------------G-C-----------F-C--G We'll sail no more together, in foul weath-er or fine, -----C----G--C----F----------C--G--F And you'll go your way, and I'll go mine, -----C----G--C---F-----------C--G--C And you'll go your way, and I'll go mine.
Oh the world is very wide, and there's never any knowing – The countries we'll be seeing, or the ports where we'll be going; Up and down the deep seas, back across the Line, And you'll go your way, and I'll go mine, And you'll go your way, and I'll go mine.
Good-bye and fare ye well – but maybe we'll be meeting, In some foreign city, where we'll shout each other greeting; Back from deep sea roving, back from wind and weather – You and me from cross the seas, two shipmates together, You and me from cross the seas, two shipmates together!
You'll blow up from Eastward, and I'll blow in from the West, And of all the times we ever had, it's then we'll have the best; We'll raise a glass and sing our songs, and all things will be fine – Then you'll go your way, and I'll go mine, Then you'll go your way, and I'll go mine.
So good-bye and fare ye well: may naught but good attend ye, All around the wide world, where sailor's luck may send ye; Up and down the deep seas, back across the Line – And you'll go your way, and I'll go mine, And you'll go your way, and I'll go mine!
D---------G------------------------Em-----------G--------------C---------D There's a voice that I just heard call-ing, I've heard man-y times be-fore, ----------G---------------------Em--------------C----------------G And it's call-ing Nep-tune's daugh-ter back to the sea once more, ------C-----------------G-----------D-----------------G Back to the sea once more, back to the sea once more, ----------G---------------------Em--------------C----------------G And it's call-ing Nep-tune's daugh-ter back to the sea once more.
It's borne on the winds and breezes, and sung on the sea birds' cry, And when Neptune calls his daughter, then no daughter can deny; No daughter can deny, no daughter can deny, When old Neptune calls his daughter, then no daughter can deny.
Ever since that I was a young girl, before I was full-grown I'd have traded dolls and dresses, for a boat to call my own; For a boat to call my own, for a boat to call my own; I'd have traded dolls and dresses, for a boat to call my own.
Now I have my own boat waiting, to sail when the tide's inclined, And it's Neptune's daughter who must go, and you must stay behind; And you must stay behind, and you must stay behind, And it's Neptune's daughter who must go, and you must stay behind.
Think me more of a friend than sweetheart, then it's less of a price you'll pay, If you yearn for Neptune's daughter, you'll just pine your heart away; You'll just pine your heart away, you'll just pine your heart away, If you yearn for Neptune's daughter, you'll just pine your heart away.
For it's well that you should remember, it's well that you should decide, I was always Neptune's daughter, long before I was your bride; Long before I was your bride, before I was your bride, I was always Neptune's daughter, before I was your bride.
Sometimes when the twilight's falling, in tune with the night wind's play, Will you think of Neptune's daughter, on the ocean far away? On the ocean far away, on the ocean far away, Will you think of Neptune's daughter, on the ocean far away?
