10,000 Miles Away Lyrics - Pandemonium: The Essential Bellowhead - Bellowhead

My true love she was beautiful, 

My true love she was fair; 

Her eyes were like the diamonds bright 

And golden was her hair. 

And golden was her hair, my lads, 

As the big ship left the bay 

She said will you remember me 

Ten thousand miles away!

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

And sing blow the winds high-o, 

A-roving I will go. 

I'll stay no more on England's shore 

For to hear the music play, 

For I'm off on the morning train 

And I won't be back again. 

For I'm taking a trip on a Government ship 

Ten thousand miles away. 

Oh dark and dismal was the day 

When last I saw my Meg, 

She'd a Government band around each hand 

And another one around the leg. 

And another one around the leg, my lads, 

As the big ship sailed away, 

I said that I'd be true to her 

Ten thousand miles away.

Oh the sun may shine through a London fog 

And the river run quite clear, 

And the ocean's wine turn into brine 

And I'll forget my beer. 

and I'll forget my beer, my lads, 

And the landlord's cannot pay 

Before I'll forget my own dear Meg 

Ten thousand miles away.
