Adieu, sweet, lovely Nancy, ten thousand times adieu.
I'm going around the ocean, love, to seek for something new.
Come change your ring with me, dear girl, [F#] come change your ring with me.
For it might [N] be a token of true love while I am on the sea.
And when I'm far up on the sea, you know not where [G#] I am.
Kind letters [F] I [C] will write to [N] you from every foreign land.
The secrets of your heart, dear girl, are the best of my good will.
So let your body be where it might, my heart will be with you still.
There's a heavy storm arising, see how it gathers round.
While we poor souls on the ocean wide are fighting for the crown.
There's nothing to protect us, love, or keep us from the cold.
On the ocean wide where we must fight like jolly seamen bold.
There's tinkers, tailors, [C#]
shoemakers, light snoring fast asleep.
While we poor souls on the ocean [D] wide are ploughing through [N] the deep.
Our officers come at us and then we must obey.
Expecting every moment for to get [C#] cast away.
But when the wars are over, there'll be peace on every shore.
We'll return to our wives and our families and the girls that we adore.
[Gm] We [G#]
can spend our money free [C#] and when our money is all gone we'll boldly [G] go to sea.
