Farewell to America
When you are gone i have these to say
He is brave and manly,
Witty and handsome,
Honourable and wise
Friendly and virtous
A man of clout and crowd.
Off shore, when the ship has anchored
Dig with strength and might
As one that is honourable
To have a tale to tell of that land of gold.
Offshore, when the ship has anchor
Love your juliet, offspring, siblings, all and sundry
For love are the duty, dignity and destiny
For which you have set.
Offshore, when the ship has anchored,
Remember the Lord is coming.
Make peace with him whom you can not dodge
And bounty shall be your joy
When you are finally gone.
