lyrics

ARABELLA

Arabella…
Daughter of the wind and the rolling sea.
Arabella…
So then we go a-rovin’ my true love and me.

Yo Ho!
We sailed the great red ship,
We raised the sails and coiled the whip.
Yo Ho!
We went to sea on the great red ship,
We manned the guns and let ‘er rip
For the love of Arabella.
Arabella…
Daughter of the wind and the rolling sea.
Arabella…
So then we go a-rovin’ my true love and me.

Yo Ho!
The wounded heart no hand could heel,
The broken belle no tongue could peel…
The wounded heart no hand could heel,
Set off to sail on a Spanish keel
For the love of Arabella.
Arabella…
Daughter of the wind and the rolling sea.
Arabella…
So then we go a-rovin’ my true love and me.

We wait the change of English crown
Til the people pull the Stewarts down.
Yo Ho!
A diff’rent head beneath the crown
To set our heading Bristol bound
And home with Arabella.
Arabella…
Daughter of the wind and the rolling sea.
Arabella…
So then we go a-rovin’ my true love and me.
Arabella…
Daughter of the wind and the rolling sea.
Arabella…
So then we go a-rovin’ my true love and me.
Arabella…
Daughter of the wind and the rolling sea.
Arabella…
So then we go a-rovin’ my true love and me.
