Thread Name: Lyr Req: Adieu to Old England (Carolyne Hughes)
Subject: Lyr Req: Carolyne Hughes' Adieu to Old England
Carolyne Hughes' recording of Adieu to Old England, Adieu I'd like to complete and correct this transcription from the singing of Carolyne Hughes.
Oh then once … riding my coach Yes, and horses to pull me along Oh but now I'm so glad I've a donkey and cart To pull me from town to town
Oh now once I could've eat of the best Of the very best bread that was baked Oh but now I am glad of a … crust And glad I can get it to eat
Oh now once I could drink of the best Of the very best beer that was brewed Oh but now I am glad of a glass of cold spring water That runs (all?) from town to town
Well, there's adieu to Old England, there's adieu There's adieu to … hundred of bright pounds Well, if the world had been ended whilst I'd been so young My sorrows I should have not known
