Am Em AmWe sold our homesteads and started on our wayE7 F G D EJust like the birds will fly when autumn is here to stayE7 Am Em F C GOne day they will return, come spring again that's whenDm Am Em AmBut we will never see our native country againAm Em AmAt first we traveled through the English countrysideE7 F G D EOn tracks and on wagons, as quickly as birds would flyE7 Am Em F C GIt was a lovely sight to see the land at lastDm Am Em AmBut all the glorious sights kept flashing by too fastDm Am Em AmThe glorious sights kept flashing by too fastAnd later when we came to Liverpudlian bayThe tears of regret finally started to have their sayThe hearts then started burning in each and everyoneWe only talked of Sweden that used to be our homeWe all were packed together in one unhealthy caveIt was as if we'd stepped into an open graveThe food that we had brought from blessed Swedish landWas suddenly for-bi-hi-dden and taken from our handIt was for-bi-hi-dden and taken from our handAnd when we had been sailing for just a week or twoA horrid kind of darkness was clouding our viewWe couldn't see each other and hardly breathe or walkIt was a gruesome anguish for all people aboardThe air was filled with hunger and drenched in wretched criesThe howling and the noises would pierce right through the skiesAnd death became the ru-hoo-ler that forced us to our kneesThe dead were buried in the horrid fathom of the seasThey were buried in the fathom of the seas
