There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor   Tomorrow for old England she sails   Far away from your land of endless sunshine   To my land full of rainy skies and gales   And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow   Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell      For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly   More dearly than the spoken word can tell   For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly   More dearly than the spoken word can tell      I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing   And the taste of war I know so very well   Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising   Their guns on fire as we sail into hell   I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow   But how bitter will be this last farewell      For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly   More dearly than the spoken word can tell   For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly   More dearly than the spoken word can tell      Though death and darkness gather all about me   My ship be torn apart upon the seas   I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands   And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee   And should I return home safe again to England   I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale      For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly   More dearly than the spoken word can tell   For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly   More dearly than the spoken word can tell
