Across the Western Ocean Lyrics by Jim Moray

Low Culture

2008

[Verse]
Well the times are hard and the wages low
Amelia where you bound to?
This rocky mountain is my home
Across the western ocean

Well I'm bound to leave my friends and home
Amelia where you bound to?
Bound away to seek for gold
Across the western ocean

[Chorus]
But oh, Mother don't you cry
Sisters wave goodbye
Pull me out...

[Verse]
Beware those packet ships I sail
Amelia where you bound to?
Steal your goods and clothes away
Across the westеrn ocean

[Chorus]
But oh, Mother don't you cry
Sister wavе goodbye
Pull me out...

[Verse]
For a land of promise there you'll see
Amelia where you bound to?
Far across the Western sea
Across the western ocean

[Chorus]
But oh, Mother don't you cry
I'm waving you goodbye
Pull me out...
