Adeline

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ooh, my Adeline, ooh

Down in Tasmania

Where the devil's jaws are far too weak

To tear you away

Ooh, I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well

Ooh, my Adeline

I watch your morning swim again

Ooh, Kodachrome blue sky

Strokes from patch to warm patch

My sweet Adeline

Ooh, I wish you well (my Adeline)

I wish you well

I wish you well (my Adeline)

I wish you well

And the old triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the Royal Canal

My Adeline was swimming

Sweet Adeline was singing

To the tune of the Royal Canal

She's a swim, swimmer

Swimmer, swimmer

Swim, swimmer

Swimmer, swimmer

And the old triangle went jingle-jangle

All along the Royal Canal

My Adeline was swimming

Sweet Adeline was singing

To the tune of the Royal Canal

I wish her well (my Adeline)

I wish her well

I wish her well (my Adeline)

I wish her well

I wish her well
