The Tar's Farewell - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE TAR'S FAREWELL 
When forced to bid farewell to Loo-Pull away, my boys, pull away, I did not know what I should do-Pull away, pull away. T left her weeping on the quay, She said she would be true to me, As we sail'd away to the Southern sea; Pull away, my boys, pull away, Pull away, pull away, pull away. 
Chorus. For the wind must blow, and the ship must go, And loving souls must part. But the ship will tack, and the tar come bark To the first love of his heart. 
But then if false should prove my fair-Pull away, my boys, pull away, I'd burn this little lock of hair-Pull away, pull away. If she be false and I be free, I'll sail again to the Southern sea, Where there are plenty as good as she; Pull away, my boys, pull away, Pull away, pull away, pull away.-Chorus.
