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?
