When my love this coin you see
I hope that you’ll remember me
Until I gain my liberty
I gain my liberty
Oh Sarah love I miss you so
Now I am waiting to go
From this prison hulk my cell
Across the sea to another hell
I fought the changes to our world
For when I looked at our dear girl
I felt a deep and helpless shame
To think of her whole life enslaved
I burnt a hay stack maybe more
I fought the greed ‘twould make us poor
With Captain Swing I nightly went
Of all I did I can’t repent
And now I leave you with no man
You must live from mouth to hand
The rich have won this time I fear
But we will fight another year
When my love this coin you see
I hope that you’ll remember me
Until I gain my liberty
I gain my liberty
This loving coin I give to you
It might help to see you through
The years ahead that you must fight
So keep it by you in the night
This coin is like a wedding ring
It bears a promise from the King
This token round it has no end
Nor has the love to you I send
When my love this coin you see
I hope that you’ll remember me
Until I gain my liberty
I gain my liberty
I hope that you’ll remember me
Until I gain my liberty
I gain my liberty
Oh Sarah love I miss you so
Now I am waiting to go
From this prison hulk my cell
Across the sea to another hell
I fought the changes to our world
For when I looked at our dear girl
I felt a deep and helpless shame
To think of her whole life enslaved
I burnt a hay stack maybe more
I fought the greed ‘twould make us poor
With Captain Swing I nightly went
Of all I did I can’t repent
And now I leave you with no man
You must live from mouth to hand
The rich have won this time I fear
But we will fight another year
When my love this coin you see
I hope that you’ll remember me
Until I gain my liberty
I gain my liberty
This loving coin I give to you
It might help to see you through
The years ahead that you must fight
So keep it by you in the night
This coin is like a wedding ring
It bears a promise from the King
This token round it has no end
Nor has the love to you I send
When my love this coin you see
I hope that you’ll remember me
Until I gain my liberty
I gain my liberty
