Never More A-Sail

Bid farewell the ocean,

come back to yer homeland,

never more go rovin’,

never more a-sail.

Come back to the moorland,

to the town ye come from,

leave yer foreign countries,

never more a-sail.

Leave the ships and sailors,

Leave the wars and captains,

Come back from the battles,

Never more a-sail.

I’ll be waitin’ here, love,

‘Til ye come, returnin’

To the land ye came from,

Never more a-sail.

Then ye’ll stay at home, love,

Bid farewell the ocean,

Never more go rovin’,

Never more a-sail.

Never more go rovin’,

Never more a-sail.
