We ^Dwere far from the ^Gshores of ^AEngl^Dand, ^DFar from our ^Gchildren and w^Aives To ^Gplay our ^Dhand in the ^ANewfound^Dland where the ^Dwind cuts ^Glike a ^Aknife we were ^Dfar from the ^Gshores of ^AEng^Dland

We ^Dshipped on ^Dboard the ^AMary^Danne to ^Dfind a ^Gbetter ^Alife and we ^Gwalked a^Dcross the ^Awat^Der when she ^Gbroke up ^Don the ^Aice we ^Dcame a^Dshore in ^ACarbo^Dnear w^Dith nothing b^Gut our ^Arights and I ^Gwondered ^Dif I ^Ae'er a^Dgain w^Dould see my ^GLondon ^ALights

^DWe were far from the ^Gshores of ^AEngla^Dnd, ^DFar from our ^Gchildren and w^Aives To ^Gplay our ^Dhand in the ^ANewfoun^Ddland where the ^Gwind cuts ^Dlike a ^Aknife we were ^Dfar from the ^Gshores of ^AEng^Dland

We ^Dspend our ^Ddays a^Amid the ^Dwaves working ^Dwater, ^Ghook and ^Atwine we'd ^Ggo for ^Dweeks with ^Ablistered ^Dcheeks waiting ^Dfor the ^Gsun to ^Ashine but as ^Dlong as the ^Dsky hold ^Aover ^Dus we ^Dwill not ^Gtaste the ^Abrine and we'll ^Gcurse the ^Dcod with the ^Afear of ^Dgod as we ^Dhaul in ^Gevery ^Aline

^DWe were far from the ^Gshores of ^AEngla^Dnd, ^DFar from our ^Gchildren and w^Aives To ^Gplay our ^Dhand in the ^ANewfoun^Ddland where the ^Dwind cuts ^Glike a ^Aknife we were ^Dfar from the ^Gshores of ^AEng^Dland, ^Dfar from our ^Gnative ^Asoil to ^Gchase a ^Dwish,and to ^Ahunt the ^Dfish, and ^Don the ^Grocks to ^Atoil we were ^Dfar from the ^Gshores of ^AEng^Dland

Should ^Dwe find ^Dfortune's ^Afav^Dour, and ^Dbe spared ^Gfrom the ^Agale we will ^Glive off ^Dhonest ^Alab^Dour with our ^Dhearts as ^Gbig as ^Asails but ^Dif I should ^Ddie don't ^Abury ^Dme or ^Dleave me ^Gto the ^Asea just ^Gsend my ^Dbones back ^Ato my ^Dhome where my ^Dspirit ^Gcan be ^Afree
