Verse 1
To Blackwall Docks I will bid adieu,
To charming Kate and lovely Sue,
Our anchor's weighed, our sail's unfurled,
We're about to plough the watery world -
That's when we are homeward bound.
Verse 2
And when we arrive in London Docks,
The pretty girls come down in flocks,
One to the other you hear them say -
Here comes Jack with his three year's pay.
'Here comes Jack with his three year's pay!'
That's when we are homeward bound.
Verse 3
When we get to the Dog and Bell,
They have very good liquors to sell,
In comes the landlord with a smile,
Saying - 'Drink my lads, for it's worth your while.'
That's when we are homeward bound.
Verse 4
But when our money's all gone and spent,
There's none to be borrowed, and none to be lent,
Then in comes the landlord with a frown,
Saying - 'Get up Jack, and let John sit down.'
That's when we are outward bound.
