Paroles

At the Blackwall Docks we bid adieu
To Kate and Polly and Sal and Sue
Our anchor's weighed and the sails unfurled
We've bound outway across the world
Hoorah we're outward bound
Hoorah we're outward bound

The wind it blows from east-nor'east
Our ships she sails nine knots at least
And the girls stand on the docks and cry
While there's grog we'll ne'er say die
Hoorah we're outward bound
Hoorah we're outward bound

At last the captain comes aboard
Our sails are bent and we're manned and stored
And the Peter's hoisted at the fore
Goodbye to the girls we'll see no more
Hoorah we're outward bound
Hoorah we're outward bound

One day the man on the lookout
“There's a sail to the wind'ard,“ he will shout
She's a pilot standing out from the land
And it's up on deck comes every man
Hoorah we're homeward bound
Hoorah we're homeward bound
Now when we get to the Blackwall docks
Them pretty young girls come down in flocks
And one to the other you'll hear 'em say
“Oh, here comes Jack with his ten months pay
For I see you're homeward bound
I see you're homeward bound.”

And when we get to the Dog and Bell
Where there's good pizon for to sell
In comes old Grouser with a smile
Saying, “Drink my lads, it's worth your while
For I see you're homeward bound
Hoorah we're homeward bound.”

But when your money's all gone and spent
And there's none to be borrowed and none to be lent
In comes old Grouser with a frown
Saying, “Get up, Jack, let John sit down
For I see you're outward bound
Hoorah we're outward bound.”

Then poor old Jack must understand
The ships in the docks are wanting hands
So he ups his gear as he's done before
And he says goodbye to his native shore
For he is outward bound
Hoorah we're outward bound
