Come get your duds in order for were going to leave tomorrow

Heave away, me jollies, heave away

Come get your duds in order for were going to cross the water

Heave away, me jolly boys, were all bound away

Sometimes were bound for Liverpool, sometimes were bound for Spain…

But now were bound for St. Johns Town to watch the girls a-dancing…

Now its farewell Maggie darling for its now Im going to leave you

You promised me youd marry me but how you did deceive me

I wrote me love a letter and I signed it with ring

I wrote me love a letter, I was on the Jenny Lind

Sometimes were bound for Liverpool, sometimes were bound for Spain

But now were bound for St. Johns Town to watch the girls a-dancing
