Chapter 7

3. Good-bye, fare ye well

[Listen]

1. I thought I heard the old man say
Good-bye, fare ye well,
Good-bye, fare ye well.
I thought I heard the old man say,
Hooray my boys we're homeward bound.

2. We're homeward bound, I hear the sound. (twice)

3. We sailed away to Mobile Bay. (twice)

4. But now we're bound for Portsmouth Town. (twice)

5. And soon we'll be ashore again. (twice)

6. I kissed my Kitty upon the pier

And it's oh to see you again my dear.

7. We're homeward bound, and I hear the sound. (twice)
