Bobby Heron - Nadine Shah

And with the new day

Oh, where he set sail

His mother’s heart sank

To hear fog horns wail

But he knew the sea

It was in his blood

And men in his day

They did what men should

She closes her eyes

And all she can see

Is waves surrounding

Her sweet Bobby

She has a tear

A man in the town

Who sees with his heart

Will track Bobby down

Poor Bobby Heron, only 21

Sailed out to sea, never to return

Poor Bobby Heron, now he is found

Flesh to the sea but bone to the ground

Her love, he has passed

But her heart’s at ease

To know that her boy

Can now rest in peace

To brave lads who sail

Out there on the sea

Beware of its wrath

It took my Bobby

Poor Bobby Heron, only 21

Sailed out to sea, never to return

Poor Bobby Heron, now he is found

Flesh to the sea but bone to the ground
