Lyrics JOHN EDMOND - Farewell Britania

Oh, I can see a jacket of red and white and blue,
Some lions and a unicorn, a harp, a bulldog too
I see some shiny jewels that sparkle in a crown
Some hearts of oak, some daffodils and hills of thistledown

Is this good-bye now, my Greaten Britannia
Farewell Britannia, adieu!
Must I leave you now, my Greaten Britannia
Will this be my last good-bye to you!

Must I say good-bye to David and George and Patrick too
To Andrew and the cousins and to all the folks I knew
It was a family quarrel and I'm too beat to scold
You close the door and left me here standing in the cold

Is this good-bye now, my Greaten Britannia
Farewell Britannia, adieu!
Must I leave you now, my Greaten Britannia
Will this be my last good-bye to you!

I've got my red flame lilly, my Bird of Mystery,
I've got my own young lion that will walk the road with me
The coat I wear just isn't the one that I once wore
You'll find the old one hanging there behind your bolted door

Is this good-bye now, my Greaten Britannia
Farewell Britannia, adieu!
Must I leave you now, my Greaten Britannia
Will this be my last good-bye to you!
