Come get your duds in order 'cause we're bound to cross the water
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
Come get your duds in order 'cause we're bound to leave tomorrow
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, sometimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

I wrote me love a letter, I was on the Jenny Lind
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
I wrote me love a letter and I signed it with a ring
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, sometimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

So it's farewell Nancy darling, 'cause it's now I'm going to leave you
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
You promised that you'd marry me, but how you did deceive me
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, moretimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, sometimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, moretimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
