Lyrics
There's some that's bound for New York Town And some that's bound for France Heave away, me Johnnies, heave away There's some that's bound for the Bengal Bay To teach them whales a dance Heave away, me Johnny boys, we're all bound to go The pilot he is a-waiting for The turning of the tide Heave away, me Johnnies, heave away And then, me boys, we'll be gone again With a good and a westerly wind Heave away, me Johnny boys, we're all bound to go Come all you hard working sailor men Who round the Cape of Storms Heave away, me Johnnies, heave away Be sure your boats and oilskins are You'll wish you never was born Heave away, me Johnny boys, we're all bound to go And farewell to you, you Kingston girls Farewell St. Andrew's dock Heave away, me Johnnies, heave away If ever we return again We'll make your cradles rock Heave away, me Johnny boys, we're all bound to go And there's some that's bound for New York Town And some that's bound for France Heave away, me Johnnies, heave away There's some that's bound for the Bengal Bay To teach them whales a dance Heave away, me Johnny boys, we're all bound to go
