Across the Western Ocean
Across the Western Ocean | |
Capstan Chanty
| O, the times are hard and the wages low Amelia, where you bound? The Rocky Mountains is my home Across the Western Ocean.
2. It's a land of plenty there you'll see
3. To Liverpool I'll make my way | 4. There's Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat Amelia, where you bound? And Yankee John the packet rat. Across the Western Ocean.
5. Beware those packet ships, I pray,
6. Wives and sweethearts don't you cry |
| 7. Oh the jobs were bad and wages low Amelia, where you bound? The Rocky Mountains will be my new home Across the Western Ocean. |
