THEY CHEERED him from the wharf it was a glorious day	A
His hand went to his scarf his thoughts were far away	A
Oh he was Jolly Good they sang it long and loud	B
The money lender stood unknown amongst the crowd	B
He d taken him aside while trembling fit to fall	C
No friendly eye espied the last farewell of all	C
	-
He held a peevish kid another at his knee	D
The wife whom he could bid farewell eternally	D
Stood nagging at his side in tones that none could hear	E
And deared him tender eyed when passengers came near	F
The cabin waits below the row and children s squall	C
And not a soul to know the bitter farce of all	C
	-
Their hearts were good as gold each pocket spared a tray	A
They pooled them as of old to drink him on his way	A
His pile of luggage rose as bravely as the best	G
He had two suits of clothes his wife and kids the rest	G
He d stood em up a sov for fear of seeming small	C
And he was thinking of that worst farewell of all	C
	-
They cheered from cargo ways and ballast heap and pile	H
To last him all his days they sent him off in style	H
He only took his book He only turned his head	I
In one last hopeless look towards a cargo shed	I
Where one stood brimming eyed in silence by the wall	C
No jealous eyes espied that last farewell of all	C
	-
The ship is out of sight and out of memory clean	J
He s rolling through the Bight on board the All Serene	J
His heart s like half a brick the voice of hope is dumb	K
He s handicapped and sick with fear of what s to come	K
They re passing Cape Leuwin the half brick starts to fall	C
But with a fiendish grin he curses land and all	C
