[Verse 1]
D G D/B D/C# D5
Once I was a waiting man who lived at home at ease
D5 Bm G A D
Now I am a mariner that ploughs the angry seas
I always loved seafaring life I bid my love adieu
I shipped as steward and cook me boys on board the kangaroo
[Chorus]
I never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
As we sailed away through Milford Bay on board the Kangaroo
[Verse 2]
D G D/B D/C# D5
Think of me oh think of me she mournfully did say
When you are in a foreign land and I am far away
And take this lucky thrupenny bit it will make you bear in mind
This loving trusting faithful heart you left in tears behind
[Verse 3]
Cheer up, cheer up my own true love don’t weep so bitterly
She sobbed she sighed she choked she cried, she could not say goodbye
I won’t be gone for very long, ‘tis but a month or two
And when I return again of course I’ll visit you
[Chorus]
I never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
As we sailed away through Milford Bay on board the Kangaroo
[Verse 4]
Our ship it was homeward bound from many’s the foreign shore
And many’s the foreign present unto my love I bore
I brought tortoises from Tenerife and ties from Timbuktu
A China rat, a Bengal cat and a Bombay cockatoo
[Verse 5]
Paid off I sought her dwelling on a street above the town
Where an ancient dame upon the line was hanging out her gown
Where is my love? she’s vanished sir about six months ago
With a smart young man who drives the van for Chaplin Son & Co.
[Chorus]
I never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
As we sailed away through Milford Bay on board the Kangaroo
[Verse 6]
Here’s a health to dreams of married life to soap ‘n’ suds and blue
D5 Bm G A D
Heart’s true love and patent starch and washing soda too
Ill go unto some foreign shore, no longer can I stay
D5 Bm G A D
With some China Hottentot I’ll throw my life away
[Verse 7]
My love she was no foolish girl her age it was two score
My love she was no spinster she’d been married twice before
I cannot say it was her wealth that stole my heart away
She’s a boiler in the laundry for one and nine a day
[Chorus]
I never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
As we sailed away through Milford Bay on board the Kangaroo
I never thought she would prove false or either prove untrue
As we sailed away through Milford Bay on board the Kangaroo
