[length: 02:55]
[00:04.81]The wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late
[00:17.86]So we’re sailing for another shore where some other ladies wait.
[00:26.45]To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains
[00:33.36]But we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same
[00:41.02]For Queen and Country in the long dying day
[00:48.25]And it’s been this way for five long years, since we signed our souls away.
[00:55.23]We bring back gold and ivory; rings of diamonds; strings of pearls
[01:02.72]Make presents to the government so they can have their social whirl
[01:09.94]With Queen and Country in the long dying day.
[01:17.50]And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away
[01:25.90]For Queen and Country in the long dying day
[01:49.11]And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away.
[01:57.22]They build schools and they build factories with the spoils of battles won.
[01:59.93]And we remain their pretty sailor boys hold our heads up to the gun.
[02:04.49]Of Queen and Country in the long dying day.
[02:18.68]And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away.
[02:26.28]To Queen and Country in the long dying day.
[02:33.96]And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away.
[02:41.11]To Queen and Country in the long dying day.
[02:47.83]And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away.
