[ Featuring Cathy Clasper-Torch, Elwood Donnelly ]
Adieu, my lovely Nancy,
Ten thousand times adieu,
I'll be thinking of my own true love,
I'll be thinking dear of you
Will you change a ring with me, my love,
Will you change a ring with me?
It will be a token of our love
When I am far at sea
When I am far away from home
And you know not where I am,
Love letters I will write to you
From every foreign strand
When the farmer boys return at night,
They will tell their girls fine tales
Of all that they've been doing
All day out in the fields
Of the wheat and hay that they've cut down,
Sure, it's all that they can do,
While we poor jolly, jolly hearts of oak
Must plough the seas all through
And when we return again, my love,
To our own dear native shore,
Fine stories we will tell to you,
How we ploughed the oceans o'er
And we'll make the alehouses to ring,
And the taverns they will roar,
And when our money it is all gone,
Sure, we'll go to sea for more
