Botany Bay - Kate Rusby
Farewell to old England forever
Farewell to me sweetheart as well
Keep me child safe in your arms love
I need you like no words can tell
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Oh too ra ly too ra ly ay
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Sailing to Botany Bay
The captain that is our commander
He sails by the stars and the sun
If e'er well I live I'll return again
To me darling sweet kisses I'd run
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Oh too ra ly too ra ly ay
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Sailing to Botany Bay
For seven long years I'm transported
Seven long years and a day
I wish I were drowned on the ocean bed
For they've taken my true love away
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Oh too ra ly too ra ly ay
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Sailing to Botany Bay
If I had the wings of a turtle dove
I'd soar on me pinions and fly
Oh I'd fly to the arms of me Polly love
And in her sweet bosom I'd lie
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Oh too ra ly too ra ly ay
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Sailing to Botany Bay
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Oh too ra ly too ra ly ay
Sailing too ra ly too ra ly adity
Sailing to Botany Bay
Oh too ra ly too ra ly adity
I'm sailing to Botany Bay
