No matter where I roam,
I will return to my English rose,
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she.
I've sailed the seven seas,
I've flown the whole blue sky,
But I've returned with haste,
To where my love does lie.
No matter where I go,
I will come back to my English rose,
For nothing can ever keep me from she.
I've searched the secret mists,
I've climbed the highest peaks,
Caught the wild wind home,
To hear her soft voice speak.
No matter where I roam,
I will return to my English rose,
For no bonds can ever keep me from she.

I've been to ancient worlds,
I've scoured the whole universe,
And caught the first train home,
To be at her side.
No matter where I roam,
I will return to my English rose,
For no bonds could ever keep me from she.
