There are some that's bound for New York Town, and some that's bound to France
Heave away me Johnny, he-eave away
And there's some that's bound for the Bengal Bay to teach them whales to dance
Heave away me Johnny boy, we're all bound to go
Our pilot, he is a-waiting for the turning of the tide
Heave away me Johnny, he-eave away
And then me girls will be gone again, with a good and westerly wine
Heave away me Johnny boy, we're all bound to go
So, farewell to you my Kingston girls, farewell St. Andrews dock
Heave away me Johnny, he-eave away
If ever we come back again, we'll make your cradles rock
Heave away me Johnny boy, we're all bound to go
So, come all of you hard-weather sailing men, who round the cape of storms
Heave away me Johnny, he-eave away
O' be sure your boots and your oilskins on, or you'll wish ya'd never been born
Heave away me Johnny boy, we're all bound to go
