Thread Name: Origins: Rose Possible Title
Subject: Origins: Rose Possible Title
Known the words for years and not sure of the title to the following song:
Just one last glance at these shores as I leave them
Would that I was lying now on my love's sweet breast
But our anchor is weighed and the wind fills our sails
Farewell Rose, Farewell Rose of England.
Bad fortunes way can't find for me employment
No master is there in this land can hire a better man
But these desperates days force me out on the waves
Farewell Rose, Farewell Rose of England.
In three long years when my voyage I've completed
Riches more than her eyes have seen to my love I'll go
These hard times we've known will be banished and flown
Farewell Rose Farewell Rose of England.
Can anybody provide any more information?
