Botany Bay Kate Rusby

[Verse 1]
Farewell to old England forever
Farewell to my sweetheart as well
Keep my child safe in your arms, love
I need you like no words can tell

[Chorus]
Singing too-ra-li, oo-ra-li, addity
Oh, too-ra-li, oo-ra-li, ay
Singing too-ra-li, oo-ra-li, addity
I'm sailing to Botany Bay

[Verse 2]
The captain that is our commander
He sails by the stars and the sun
If e'er well I live I'll return again
To my darling's sweet kisses I'd run

[Chorus]
Singing too-ra-li, oo-ra-li, addity
Oh, too-ra-li, oo-ra-li, ay
Singing too-ra-li, oo-ra-li, addity
I'm sailing to Botany Bay

[Verse 3]
For seven long years I'm transported
For seven long years and a day
I wish I were drowned on the ocean bed
For they've taken my true love away
