Will You Go

Well the siren from the dockside was the shrillest that I'd heard And no melody had greeted me from the morning chorus birds As the sun rose slow to light me on a dock down by the shore By the light I'd seen that I would never see my home no more By the light I'd seen that I would never see my home no more

All around me on the dockside were a hundred Cousin Jacks And deep down inside we knew we were never coming back Far across the ocean waves there was a new life to be found For the call went out to find the men to help them break new ground Yeah the call went out to find the men to help them break new ground

Singing "Oh Will You Go" Singing "Oh Will You Go" Singing "Oh Will You Go" Singing "Oh Will You Go"

Well the 20 feet of gangplank was the longest walk I'd make And with every step I took another piece inside would break For I'd never left the county, since the day that I was born But before too long I would be sailing out around Cape Horn Oh before too long I would be sailing out around Cape Horn

Raise the anchor, hoist the main sail, haul away and wave goodbye As you roll over the breakers into the open sky Spread your wings then set your roots down in an unfamiliar land Carve out a piece of Cornwall, carve it out now with your hands Carve out a piece of Cornwall, carve it out now with your hands

Singing "Oh Will You Go" Singing "Oh Will You Go" Singing "Oh Will You Go" Singing "Oh Will You Go"

And when your new life gets heavy and it weighs upon your mind Think of all the things you loved before in the land you left behind Like the Wolf Rock in the winter or the stones around Carn Brea The granite soul you hold inside will never go away Oh the granite soul you hold inside will never go away
