The Pomegranate County Irregulars - Long Lost Roving Tar (Remastered)

It was in the town of Liverpool, all in the month of May
I overheard a damsel, alone as she did stray
She did appear like Venus or some sweet, lovely star
She walked along the beach lamenting a long lost roving Tar

Oh, William, gallant William, how could you sail away
I have arrived at twenty-one, and I'm a lady gay
I will man one of my father's ships and face the horrid war
And cross the briny ocean for my long lost roving Tar

Come all you jolly sailors and push the boat ashore
That I may see my father's ships and see they are secure
Provisions we have plenty, and lots of grog in store
So drink good health you sailors to my long lost roving Tar

She quickly jumped into the boat and merrily left the land
And as the sailors rowed away, she waved her lily hand
Farewell, ye girls of Liverpool, I fear no wound nor scar
And away went pretty Susan to her long lost roving Tar

So the sea town, Liverpool, lost it a daughter fair
Through a foolish bravery. For there will be no William there
Farewell, ye girls of Liverpool, I fear no wound nor scar
And away went pretty Susan to her long lost roving Tar
Farewell, ye girls of Liverpool, I fear no wound nor scar
And away went pretty Susan to her long lost roving Tar
Farewell, ye girls of Liverpool, I fear no wound nor scar
And away went pretty Susan to her long lost roving Tar
