[Chorus]
N.C.
Then blow, ye winds, then blow
N.C.
And a-rovin' I will go
N.C.
I'll stay no more on England's shore
N.C.
To hear the fiddles play
N.C.
For I'm on the move to me own true love
D
Ten thousand miles away
[Verse]

Oh, my true love was beautiful

Bound out for Botany Bay

When last I seen me Meg
Bm D
She'd a Government band around her hand

As the big ship left the bay

"Adieu, me love, remember me

Ten thousand miles away"

I wished I was a bosun
G
Or a sailor without fear
Bm D
I'd man a boat and away I'd float
G A
And straight to me true love steer
D
And straight to me true love steer, me boys
G
Where the whales and dolphin the play
Bm D
Where the whales and sharks are havin' their larks

Ten thousand miles away

Or the river run quite clear
Bm D
Or the ocean brine turn into wine
G A
Or I forget me beer

Or I forget me beer, me boys
G
Or the landlord's quarter-pay
Bm D
But I'll never forget me own true love
