I shall wGatch the English G7mist roll through the deClls,

River Lady

Key: AMedium

C#m

TheA day the river freezes

Is the Bmday it won't seem fair

'Cause they'll Dcome to get the River Lady

And DI don't think they'll Acare

I Aknow they'll scrape her paint off

In their Bmsame old foolish ways

Now the Dpeople see the river

But the Dold ships gone aAway

AWater turns Dcold and gets ta freezin'

Before you even Aknow it, the old girl's easin'

Away from her C#mberth, round by the point

And out of our Dview

Off in the Dmist, her engine's poundin'

Like on the Abanks, that old horn's soundin'

A little goodC#mbye, a little I'll do what I must Ddo

A little goodC#mbye, a little I'll Ddo what I must Ado

I Aknow I will remember

When I Bmcannot hear that horn

That would Droll up by the mountains

As she Dtook us through the Astorm

I Aknow they've got to take her

But I Bmcan't say I approve

'Cause she's Dwon so many battles

That I Dhate to see her Alose

AWater turns Dcold and gets ta freezin'

Before you even Aknow it, the old girl's easin'

Away from her C#mberth, round by the point

And out of our Dview

A little goodC#mbye, a little I'll do what I must Ddo

A little goodC#mbye, a little I'll Ddo what I must Ado

AWater turns Dcold and gets ta freezin'

Before you even Aknow it, the old girl's easin'

Away from her C#mberth, round by the point

And out of our Dview

Off in the Dmist, her engine's poundin'

Like on the Abanks, that old horn's soundin'

A little goodC#mbye, a little I'll do what I must Ddo

A little goodC#mbye, a little I'll Ddo what I must Ado
