04 Jan 97 - 12:58 AM (#1093) Subject: Artist/Title From: chas@koyote.com I would like to know who sang the following and the title and whether the song is still available: The first line is: "There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor. Tomorrow for old England she sails. Far away from this land of endless sunshine to my land full or rainy skies and gales. When I return safe home again to England, I'll watch the English mist roll through the dales. For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly more dearly than the spoken word can tell. |

04 Jan 97 - 08:55 AM (#1095) Subject: RE: Artist/Title From: Ralph Butts Chas... That would be "The Last Farewell" by English artist Roger Whittaker, who was popular in the '70s and is still around. You should be able to find a "Best of" collection at your music store. I'll post the lyric if wou want it. ....Tiger |

05 Jan 97 - 01:13 PM (#1124) Subject: Lyr Add: THE LAST FAREWELL (Roger Whittaker) From: Ralph Butts Chas.... Here it is, one of my favorites. .....Tiger ---------------------- The Last Farewell - Roger Whittaker There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor, Tomorrow for old England she sails, Far away from your land of endless sunshine, To my land full of rainy skies and gales, And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow, Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell, CHORUS For you are beautiful, And I have loved you dearly, More dearly than the spoken word can tell. For you are beautiful, And I have loved you dearly, More dearly than the spoken word can tell. I heard there's a wicked war a-blazing, And the taste of war I know so very well. Even now I see this foreign flag a-raising, Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell. I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow, But how bitter will be this last farewell, CHORUS Though death and darkness gather all about me, And my ship be torn apart upon the sea, I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands, In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee, And should I return safe home again to England, I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell, CHORUS
