The full version of the words is given by Captain Whall, and runs:— |

|
O fare you well, I wish you well!
Good bye, fare you well; good bye fare you well! O fare you well, my bonny young girls,
Hurrah my boys, we're homeward bound!
O don't you hear our old man say We're homeward bound this very day?
We're homeward bound, I hear the sound,
So heave at the capstan and make it spin round. |
||
|
Our anchor's aweigh and our sails they are set, And the girls we are leaving we leave with regret.
She's a flash clipper packet and bound for to go; With the girls at her tow-rope she cannot say no.
