Good Bye Fare You Well

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

Oh fare you well, I wish you well

Goodbye, fare you well; goodbye, fare you well

Oh fare you well, my bonny young lassies

Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound

The billows roll, the breezes blow

Goodbye, fare you well; goodbye, fare you well

To us they're calling: sheet home and go

Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound

We're homeward bound, and I hear the sound,

Goodbye, fare you well; goodbye, fare you well

So heave on the capstan and make it spin round

Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound

Our anchor's aweigh and our sails they are set

Goodbye, fare you well; goodbye, fare you well

And the girls we are leaving we leave with regret.

Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound

She's a flash clipper packet and bound for to go,

Goodbye, fare you well; goodbye, fare you well

With the girls on her towrope she cannot say no

Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound
