Select language to translate this lyric
I've longed so for this moment, ever since you left
I have toiled the field on my hands and knees and awaited your return
Listen now my darling, I wish that I could stay
But I'm off with me ship were meant to fight the Britts and their fleet
At shipwreck bay
Oh spare me but one moment, surely there be time
We should drink and eat, and you must want to me the son
That's yours and mine
The touch of me warm sweet lips, made widowers before
Yer not the first, to find themselves a nurse, as I head for distant shore
Curse your thirst for freedom, your loath for honest work
Won't you settle down, in our quiet down. I'm begging you don't go
Hush now my dear lover, a bed be not for tears
Your sobs won't pay for my nightly stay, now I should be on my way
