Goodbye, Fare-ye-well

by Nils Brown

Lyrics
Hey, boys

Oh, don't you just hear the old man say?
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
Oh, don't you hear the old man say?
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

We're homeward bound to Liverpool Town
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
Where all of them judies, they will come down
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

And when we gets to the Wallasey Gates
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
Oh, Sally and Polly for their flash men do wait
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

And one to the other, we'll hear them say
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
Oh, here he comes, Johnny, with his fourteen months pay
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

We'll meet these fly girls and we'll ring the old bell
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
And with them judies, we'll raise merry hell
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

We're homeward bound to the gals of the town
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
And stamp me up bullies and heave it around
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

And when we gets home, boys, oh, won't we fly 'round
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
We'll heave up the anchor to this bully sound
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

We're all homeward bound for the old backyard
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
Then heave, me bullies, we're all bound homeward
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

Oh, heave with a will, boys, oh, heave long and strong
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
And sing a good chorus for 'tis a good song
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound

We're homeward bound, we'll have yous to know
Goodbye, fare-ye-well, goodbye, fare-ye-well
And over the water to England must go
Hurrah, me boys, we're homeward bound
