My Green Valleys (2011 version)

Brian Warfield

The seagulls are calling, the wind is in the sail
As she's fast moving out to the sea
On a ship bound for Saint John's, three thousand miles away
A human cargo; my comrades and me

[Chorus]
Fare thee well, green valleys, God keep you the same
If in only my mind you'll be
For I'm sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see

It hurts me to think of the things I've left behind
Though the famine has blackened the land
And to look now for something that I may never find
Is a problem that's now close at hand

[Chorus]
Fare thee well, green valleys, God keep you the samе
If in only my mind you'll be
For I'm sailing dark waters to far Americay
Nеver more my green valleys to see

There's a fever a-ragin' and the winds have died away
And our journey will no longer be
Though the plague is a shadow that lingers night and day
Former thoughts of green valleys I see

[Chorus]
Fare thee well, green valleys, God keep you the same
If in only my mind you'll be
For I'm sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
