We Both Go Down Together

Lyrics

Here on these cliffs of Dover
 So high you can't see over
 And while your head is spinning
 Hold tight, it's just beginning
 You come from parents wanton
 A childhood rough and rotten
 I come from wealth and beauty
 Untouched by work or duty
 And oh, my love, my love
 And oh, my love, my love
 We both go down together
 I found you, a tattooed tramp
 A dirty daugher from the labour camp
 I laid you down on the grass of a clearing
 You wept but your soul was willing
 And oh, my love, my love
 And oh, my love, my love
 We both go down together
 And my parents will never consent to this love
 But I hold your hand
 Meet me on my vast veranda
 My sweet untouched Miranda
 And while the seagulls are crying
 We fall but our souls are flying
 And oh, my love, my love
 And oh, my love, my love
 And oh, my love, oh my love
 And oh, my love, my love
 We both go down together
