Bridgwater Town Lyrics

When I was a boy, just barely fourteen,
My life belonged to the sea,
And for fifty long years, I served out my time -
My life, it never was free, me boys, no my life, it never was free.

Chorus: So blow you winds blow, and blow, you winds west,
Carry me over the sea,
'Cos I'm comin' back to Bridgwater Town,
Back in the West Country - me boys, I'm comin' back to the West Country!

Well many's the time that I still can recall
Our ship torn apart by the storm,
And hearts they beat fast, we were cold and alone,
And we prayed for a safe journey home, me boys, yes we prayed for a safe journey home.

Repeat Chorus

We followed the sun that sank in the west,
On the Trade Wind our fortune was found
From old Kingston Town, to the ends of the world,The Wurzels - Bridgwater Town - http://motolyrics.com/the-wurzels/bridgwater-town-lyrics.html
Good drink and bad women abound, me boys, good drink and bad women abound!

Repeat Chorus

Well I've seen all the sights that one man can see
My heart's full content I did roam,
But in the still of the night, when four bells are rung,
I dream of my Bridgwater home, me boys, yes I dream of my Bridgwater home.

Repeat Chorus

But the life of a tar will make old men of young,
It's a fact that one day you must rest,
So as once I did plough through the seas of the world,
I'll plough the green hills of the West, me boys, I'll plough the green hills of the West!

Repeat Chorus

Final Chorus - repeat last line (from "me boys") three times.
