Roger Quilter - Come Unto These Yellow Sands

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/578681
Come unto these yellow sands
And then take hands:
Curtsied when you have and kissed
The wild waves whist:
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear

Hark, hark!
Bow-wow
The watch dogs bark;
Bow-wow
Hark, hark!
I hear the strain of strutting Chanticleer
Cry, Cock-a-diddle dow
