Here on these cliffs of Dover 

So high you can't see over 

And while your head is spinning 

Hold tight, it's just beginning 



You come from parents wanton 

A childhood rough and rotten 

I come from wealth and beauty 

Untouched by work or duty 



And oh, my love, my love 

And oh, my love, my love 

We both go down together 



I found you, a tattooed tramp 

A dirty daugher from the labour cans 

I laid you down on the grass of a clearing 

You wept but your soul was willing 



And oh, my love, my love 

And oh, my love, my love 

We both go down together 



And my parents will never consent to this love 

But I hold your hand 



Meet me on my vast veranda 

My sweet, untouched Miranda 

And while the seagulls are crying 

We fall but our souls are flying 



And oh, my love, my love 

And oh, my love, my love 

And oh, my love, oh my love 

And oh, my love, my love 

We both go down together
