Lyrics: 

​Verse 1






​Chorus






​Verse 2






​
Verse 3




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


Some times, we're bound for Liverpool,
More times, we're bound for Spain.
Heave away, me jollies, Heave away!
But now wе're bound for old St. John's,
Where all thе 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


So it's farewell Nancy darling
'Cause it's now I'm going to leave ya
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!
