Albion Heart

Hard times made a gypsy of him

Carried away on an emigrant wind

Behind him the white cliffs were fading away

The unknown horizon was calling

With tears in his eyes he said his goodbyes to England

Goodbye to my homeland

Now we're apart

I'll keep you in mind

Never leave you behind

In my Albion heart

Though she was born of higher degree

And their love they shared secretly

In separate circles condemned by his class

He left for America's shore

Vowing to come back a gentleman one day to England

Goodbye to my homeland

Now we're apart

I'll keep you in mind

Never leave you behind

In my Albion heart

After seven long years the winds turned around

A gentleman now for England was bound

No longer a tradesman he came to her door

With love in his heart overflowing

He swept her away, they married that day there in England

So here in my homeland

We never will part

I kept you in mind

Never left you behind

In my Albion heart

I kept you in mind

Never left you behind

In my Albion heart
