Not wishing to change the intended subject. But does anyone have an explanation of the song sung by Nic Jones that tells of Flondyke shores.

The first verse starts:-

"I went to my loves chamber window where I oft had been before..."

At this point he leaves a letter?

and goes on

"I went to my loves chanber door where I never had been before...."
"I saw a light springing from her clothes...springing from her clothes. Just like the morning sun when first she rose"

and ends with a strange line after meeting her father on the "Flondyke" shore and finding that she had died of a broken heart

"....so I hove a bullet on to fair Englands shore. On to fair Englands shore. Just where I thought that my own true love did lay (lie).

Is this a beautiful way of saying he shot himself?

I don't know where flondyke shore is but it doesn't sound like he could reach England with a bullet unless he meant that he put a bullet in his own heart knowing that this was England and where his true love lay.

It sounds very night visiting and strange and any explanation would be appreciated.

Either way it's a strangely Ghost like song and one I really like singing.
