Shirley Collins - Adieu to Old England lyrics
Adieu to Old England, adieu, And adieu to some hundreds of pounds. If the world had been ended when I had been young, My sorrows I'd never have known. Once I could drink of the best, The very best brandy and rum. Now I am glad of a cup of spring water That flows from town to town. Once I could eat of good bread, Good bread that was made of good wheat. Now I am glad with a hard mouldy crust And glad that I got it to eat. Once I could lie on a good bed, A good bed that was made of soft down. Now I am glad of a clot of clean straw To keep myself from the cold ground. Once I could ride in my carriage, With servants to drive me along. Now I'm in prison, in prison so strong Not knowing which way I can turn. |
