I wish I was in England

Oh, I wish that I was in England

D A Hm

in France or even in Spain.

G D A Hm

Or where ever dwells my own true love

D A Hm

for to hold her near again.

G D A Hm

Or where ever dwells my own true love

D A Hm

for to hold her near again.

For a long time I've been rovin

In country or in town.

Oh, but never end my wonder I met

a maid of such renounce.

Oh, but never end my wonder I met

a maid of such renounce.

Oh, when I first met my true love

On the sticks of the knockes-machine.

Where the brown air and the howlin' wind

were blowin' wild and free.

Where the brown air and the howlin' wind

were blowin' wild and free.

Oh, my true love did promise me

some land with apples and coins.

Oh, when knockin' around for pott shippin' land

for to build a mansion fine.

Oh, when knockin' around for pott shippin' land

for to build a mansion fine.

Oh, but then my true love she left me

and wandered far away.

And I have been searchin' for my love

for many the night and day.

And I have been searchin' for my love

for many the night and day.

I wish that I was in England

in France or even in Spain.

Or where ever dwells my own true love

for to hold her near again.

Or where ever dwells my own true love

for to hold her near again.
