Toilers of the Sea

Come away with me

To toil upon the sea,

Come away and see

How sweet sea life can be,

I\'ll sing Bonnie Dundee

Off the coast of

Old Guernsey, you and me

As toilers of the sea, as toilers of the sea.

                                                                   

Help me put that wrecked

Romance away from me,

Help me understand

How it was lost at sea,

It wasn\'t destined to be,

She belonged to another not me,

What’ll be will be,

For toilers of the sea, for toilers of the sea.

                                                                   

I can stand it if you\'re

There with me,

For the solitary life at sea

Is enough to make you

Sea crazy,

With the whales

And gulls for company,

For toilers of the sea, for toilers of the sea.

                                                                   

We can ponder on

The ocean\'s mysteries,

I\'ll unveil a few of

My old sea stories,

You\'ll see how kind a tar can be,

I promise you\'ll be safe with me,

When we\'re out at sea

As toilers of the sea, as toilers of the sea.
