lyrics

Homeward Bound - William H.Smith [1:22]
AC: 2291 - MF NO: 289.342

Recorded: Liverpool, August 15, 1948. [See note for #5]

We’re homeward bound and I love that sound,
Goodbye, fare you well, goodbye, fare you well,
We’re homeward bound and I love that sound,
Away my boys, we’re homeward bound.

I thought I heard the old man say,
Goodbye, fare you well, goodbye, fare you well,
Tomorrow is our sailing day,
Away my boys, we’re homeward bound.

Farewell ye girls of this warm country,
Goodbye, fare you well, goodbye, fare you well,
I can no longer stay with you,
Away my boys, we’re homeward bound.

We’re homeward bound with sugar and rum,
Goodbye, fare you well, goodbye, fare you well,
We’re homeward bound with sugar and rum,
Away my boys, we’re homeward bound.
