Roselle is the name of my friends boat, it is currently shipwrecked in his front yard. Some time later this year the boat will be taken apart and will never sail again.

Lyrics
Roselle
© Sue Bargh 2009
Well I was a lonesome traveller
Upon the oceans three
From the Cape and St Helena
Where ever I would please
But as one day I crossed the bay
A sound traversed the sea
Now it would be wrong to stay out long
When Roselle calls to me
It would be wrong to stay out long
When Roselle calls to me
Id always been a wanderer
And she wandered well with me
From Liverpool to Anglesey
Around the Irish Sea
But now a days when my ship sails
My heart t`will never roam
Never want to be alone
When Roselle calls me home
Never want to be alone
When Roselle calls me home
Id always been a rolling stone
And my love rolled with me
And nine months saw my darling
With a baby on her knee
So I sailed my last, put it in the past
And I crossed no more the sea
I never will be fancy free
When Roselle needed me
Never will be fancy free
When Roselle needed me
All that was many years ago
Then my ship stayed in the yard
She needs a coat of paint or two
But to find the time was hard
Yet now I find my self alone
Perhaps its time to sell……
Or maybe time to sail again
Go searching for Roselle
Or maybe time to sail again
Searching for Roselle
Searching for Roselle Roselle Roselle
