Over the sea, let’s go men!
We’re shovin’ right off, we’re shovin’ right off again
Nobody knows where or when
We’re shovin’ right off, we’re shovin’ right off again
Haul away you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away you’ll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
They’re waiting for the tide
The sails are open wide
They’re sailing to a better place to dwell
They’re sailing to America, fly the banners high
And they’ll lay you down low in the easy
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas.
And the miles that you traveled the distance
Won’t you lay me down in tall grass
And let me do my stuff
Tell me please when the rollin’s over
Me and my baby gonna have some fun
Bury our backs in a bed of clover
Smile in style while the sun goes down
Yes (da-da, da-da, da-da)
My my, such a sweet thing (da-da, da-da, da-da)
I want to do everything (da-da, da-da, da-da)
What a beautiful feeling (da-da, da-da, da-da)
Crimson and clover (da-da, da-da, da-da)
Over and over
Purple clover, Queen Anne’s lace
Crimson hair across your face
You can make me cry if you don’t know
Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
But now it’s just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don’t let them know, don’t give yourself away.
Is that all there is? Is that all there is?
All alone is all we are
All we are
All we are, we are
We are all, all we need
All you need is Love.
Love hurts…
The notices and frescoes have faded in the sun
The White Star Line comes steaming in upon its midnight run
You can’t believe it’s over with no loss or gain
My love is the peace which takes away the pain
Love stinks.
Then your fingers touched
My silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love’s
A many splendored thing
L is for the way you look at me,
O is for the only one I see,
V is very, very extraordinary,
E is even more…
