D
G
Bm
My name is Isaac Lewis,
C
D
I'm an able -bodied hand
G
Bm
I bought the Royal Charter,
C
D
bound for Australia's strand
G
The season took six months to cross,
G
Bm
So, down the River Mersey,
C
D
G
from Liverpool we drew, sail on.
Well, some of us were sailors,
C
D
shipmates young and old,
G
And some of us were pioneers,
C
D
seeking for the gold.
G
We had merchants, musicians,
C
Christian soldiers of the cross.
G
We stood in the stern and watched awake,
C
D
saw our futures in the froth
G
And every night I dreamed a dream
C
as the wind sang in the sails
G
That I was in my father's house
C
D
in Anglesey, North Wales
G
And I reached out to my father,
C
said I love you very much
G
Then the ship turned over
and the dream was gone before
C
D
we got to touch
G
Bm
Oh, tied up in Botany Bay,
C
D
the lads went on the town
G
And I fell in love with Emma Grey,
C
D
she wore a silken gown
G
I swore that I'd return for her
G
I had need to see my father,
C
D
tell him what he meant to me
G
C
G
Sail on, sail on and on and on
My name is Isaac Lewis,
D
G
this is my song
Well I kissed the lips of Emma Grey
D
G
With parrots perching in the tops
C
D
The dolphins swam in schools
G
The trip it was a pleasant one
G
Then just one day from Liverpool,
C
D
God, he sent the gale
G
Great God, I've seen some stones,
C
D
lad, hurricanes at sea
G
And oft times I've repented,
C
D
all on my bended knee
G
But I never knew it'd blow so hard,
G
But the anchors didn't hold,
Em
C
D
we had to cut the mast
And the mining magnets
C
D
Believing they'd be saved
G
Bm
But their greed destroyed them
D
G
All the women and the children,
G
Where man has tamed and shaped the land
C
D
He cannot chase the sea
Sail on and on and on
Em
G
My name is Isaac Lewis
D
G
This is my song
We were fast upon the rocks
C
D
Just ten yards from the shore
G
I saw men standing on those rocks
C
D
Maybe a score or more
G
And I swear I saw my father there
C
Waving through the squall
G
And I yelled that I was coming home
C
D
No more I can recall
G
And every night I dreamed a dream
C
As the wind sang in the sails
G
That I was in my father's house
C
D
In Anglesey, North Wales
G
Then I reached out to my father
C
Said I love you very much
G
Then the ship turned over
And the dream was gone
C
D
before we got to touch
Then the waves,
they swept me overboard
C
D
With the wreckage and the dross
whereas a boy I'd fished
C
D
All on those very rocks
G
In three days' time I'd washed up
G
Just a hundred yards from Wulfra
C
D
And my father's open door
Else you may say coincidence
C
D
Such stories cannot be true
G
But I say tell your loved ones
C
D
Just what they mean to you
G
Or you may sail the seas of life
C
Pursuing all your schemes
G
And drown before you reach your goal
C
D
The object of your dreams
Sail on and on and on,
Em
Bm
my name is Isaac Lewis,
