Hard times made a gypsy of him Carried away on an emmigrant 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 She was born of higher degree And their love was 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 wind turned around And 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 keep you in mind, never left you behind In my Albion Heart
