Homeward Bound
Trad 

Lyrics courtesy www.sailorsongs.com

Our anchor we'll weigh, and our sails we will set.
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well.
The friends we are leaving, we leave with regret,
Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound.

We're homeward bound, Oh joyful sound!
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well.
Come rally the capstan, and run quick around.
Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound.

We're homeward bound We'd have you know
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well.
And over the water to England must go,
Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound.

Heave with a will, and heave long and strong,
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well.
Sing a good chorus For Its a good song.
Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound.

Hurrah! that good run brought the anchor a-weigh,
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well.
She's up to the hawse, sing before we belay.
Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound.

'We're homeward bound,'  you've heard us say,
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
Hook on the cat fall then, and rut her away.
Hurrah, my boys, we're homeward bound.
