By a galloping sea I thought I could be free I thought I could be free Oh, by a galloping sea. By a airy church She said she'd find a perch She said she'd find a perch Oh, by an airy church. By a noonday breeze Her song is in the trees Her song is in the trees Oh, on a noonday breeze Farewell farewell the breeze The church, the bell, and song Her last farewell to me A song at sea, crest and swell, A song at sea to remember thee Tis remembered well. By a galloping sea.
