Continuing on with the Roxamir Sheen, _ a song that I had a small part in writing, although
the lyrics were mostly that of the late and [N] _ lamented Al Pittman.

_ _ [C] The _ farthest wish [Am] I ever [C] had since the day that I was _ _ weaned, [C] is to go back to walk again
On the rocks [F] of my [Am] sheep, _ _ _ [C] on the hard rocks, [Am] the rocky _
[C] rocks, the rocks of my [Am] sheep.
_ _ _ [C] I still _ recall [Am] the sad _ farewell [C] that I bid her on [Am] that day, _ _ [F] when _ [C] all upon a [Am] waning ship
[C] I went [F] to earn [Am] my pay.
_ _ [C] From out of _ [Am] Rosaroo we [C] sailed to hunt the big [Am] fish down.
_ _ [F] We _ [C] sailed upon [G] the _ [Am] ocean.
[G] We [F] sailed round [Am] _ _ with _
[C] _ girls in every _ [Am]
port of [C] call.
I did no well [Am] this spring.
_ _ _ [F] _
[C] Forsaken though, I [D] loved being high _ back [F] in the _ [Am] Zanje. _
_ _ [C] On the hard _ rocks, [Am] the _ rocky [C] rocks, the [G] rocks of my _ [Am] _ sheep. _

Now [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] in my old [Am] _ _ making age, [C] I think on her [Am] once more, _ _ [G] of how she fell [C] while [E] waiting for [C] my
knock [F] upon [G] her [Am] stern wall. _ _
[C] What fate was hers, [Am] I do not love her in my sleep.
[F] I've _ seen her _ [C] walking like a quince [Am] of a [A] month, a _ [F] Roxamir _ [Am] Sheen.
_ _ [C] On the hard rocks, the [Am] _ rocky [C] rocks, the [F] rocks of [G] my [Am] sheep. _ _
[C] On the hard rocks, [A] the _ dirty _ [F#m] rocks, _ _
[C] the _ [G] rocks of my sheep.
