Round! Roun...Lyrics to "ROUND! ROUND!<br /><br />CHORUS:<br />Round! Round! In the harbour of Old Hull/this old town<br />Round! Round! Watch the windlass go round & round<br />Round! Round! Leave the keel for the fishing grounds<br />Round! Round! Watch as the wheel goes round<br /><br />v 1:<br />"Where's my Georgie?" I cried<br />Silent the craft as she pulled alongside<br />"Where's her Daddy?" I cried,<br />Miles off Spurn on a hungry tide<br /><br />CHORUS<br /><br />v 2:<br />Lost on the starboard tack<br />Swapped his keel for a fishing smack<br />Fathom those fish by our loss and lack<br />Bairn, your Daddy's not coming back<br /><br />CHORUS<br /><br />v 3:<br />The quiet banks and the dusty mills<br />He left for the surge of the salt sea's hills<br />Seagulls circle the foam<br />This circle of gold cannot bring him home<br /><br />CHORUS<br /><br />v 4<br />He wears your caul at his heart<br />Seething squall at the rainbow's start<br />They never look back and we never wave<br />Sails are shrouds for the ocean's grave<br /><br />CHORUSJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150169808844097249noreply@blogger.com
