Victoria Nautical Song Circle's
August 2000 Song Of The Month


A LONG TIME AGO

 
Well I wish I was in Aukland Town,
 Wey-ho hi-oh
Where the pretty girls walk up and down
 A long time ago
 
 Chorus:
Well it is a long time
And a very long time,
Wey-ho hi-oh
A long time and a very long time
A long time ago.
 
Well I wish to the Lord that I'd never been born
 Wey-ho hi-oh
To go a-hunting 'round Cape Horn
 A long time ago
 
 Chorus
 
Around Cape Horn with frozen sails
 Wey-ho hi-oh
Around Cape Horn to hunt the whales
 A long time ago
 
 Chorus
 
 (Repeat first verse and chorus)

Taken from Lime Bay Mutiny's tape "Live at the Blue Peter".
