Best version of this song hands down. Can’t find it on any music app
Adieu, sweet lovely Nancy,
ten thousand times adieu,
I am going across the ocean, love,
to seek for something new.
Come change your ring with me, dear girl,
Come change your ring with me,
that it might be a token of true love
when I am out at sea.
And when I'm far out at sea
you'll know not where I am.
Kind letters I will write to you
from every foreign land.
The secrets of my mind, dear girl,
And the best of my good will,
So let your body be where it might,
my heart will be with you still.
There's a heavy storm arising,
see how it gathers round,
While we poor souls on the ocean wide
are fighting for the crown.
There's nothing to protect us, love,
no keep us from the cold,
On the ocean wide, where we must fight
like jolly seamen bold.
There's tinkers, tailors, shoemakers,
lie snoring fast asleep,
While we poor souls on the ocean wide
are plowing through the deep.
Our officers commanded us,
as them we must obey,
Expecting every moment
for to get cast away.
But when the wars are over,
there'll be peace on every shore,
We'll return to our wives and our families,
and the girls that we adore.
We'll call for liquor merrily,
we'll spend our money free,
And when our money is all gone -
we'll boldly go to sea.
gazmjas I always knew it as “the secrets of your heart dear girl are the best of my good will”.
@@alexander6399 i've written just like they singed, and for my modest opinion its better than classical song.
Beautiful
Enchanting...Male harmonies are so thrilling when done so precisely. This group is no longer together but we have this perfect performance to remember them by.
Hugely enjoyable rendition of this folk classic. Well sung and with real passion. These guys are young enough for at least three 'reunion' tours! Can't wait. Love and peace.
This is such a gorgeous rendition. Thank you!!
Beautiful. Thanks.
Such a fine rendition!
Ok I'm in love with all of them.
First time I have heard of them...FANTASTIC!
Totally brilliant. Maybe a reunion sometime? Everyone else is doing it, but not as sublimely as this. Awesome. Love and peace.
This is brilliant. Beautiful voices.
You guys really nailed it!
fantastic
Amazing.
Lovely lads, thank you
Really nice!
Captain James Cook brought me here.
Same here.....fantastic documentary and sublime singing.
Very nice indeed
very fine version
at a cafe near my university a group like this came in after a concert at the auditorium across the street i think and got a table near the front. they started singing, and i've never seen women actually swoon before then or since
how beautiful!
Awesome singing.
I found this after tracking down the music used in a documentary about Captain Cook. Beautiful singing and arrangement. Here's the documentary :

Are these guys still singing together?
Just came across your comment, they are not singing together anymore. Sam Brookes (on the left here)is so worth checking that out :)
Does anyone know who sings the fade out track? Is it the Ballina Whalers, too?
Hi Marek, the song over the credits as sung by the Ballina Whalers is 'The Wreck of the Dandenong' which you can listen to (and buy) here: theballinawhalers.bandcamp.com/album/pull-down-below-ep-iii
Great, thank you so much!
