Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool town
Sometimes we're bound for France
{Heave away... O my Johnny
Heave away~...}

Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool town
Sometimes we're bound for France
{Heave away... O my Jolly boys
We're all bound to go...}

As I walked out~ one fine morning
All in the month of May
{Heave away... O my Johnny
Heave away...}

I over took a pretty fair maid
I unto her did say:
{Heave away... O my Jolly boys
We're all bound to go...}

Oh where are you goin' to
My pretty maid
I unto her did say:
{Heave away... O my Johnny
Heave away...}

I'm goin a~milkin' Sir, she said..
All in the month of May..
{Heave away... O my Jolly boys
We're all bound to go...}

Shall I come with you, my pretty maid..
I unto her did say:
{Heave away... O my Johnny
Heave away...}

Oh yes, if you please, kind Sir, she said
All in the month of May..
{Heave away... O my Jolly boys
We're all bound to go...}

Oh what is your father my pretty maid
I unto her did say..
{Heave away... O my Johnny
Heave away...}

Me father's a farmer Sir, she said
All in the month of May..
{Heave away... O my Jolly boys
We're all bound to go...}

Oh what is your fortune, my pretty maid..
I unto her did say..
{Heave away... O my Johnny
Heave away~...}

Me face is me fortune, Sir, she said
All in the month of May..
{Heave away... O my Jolly boys
We're all bound to go...}

Then I cannot marry you my pretty maid..
I unto her did say:
{Heave away... O my Johnny
Heave away...}

Well, nobody asked you, Sir, she said
Spoken: {True}
All in the month of May..
{Heave away... O my Jolly boys
We're all bound to go...}
