Tradycyjne - Across the Western Ocean

1. Oh, the times were hard and the wages low,
Amelia, whar you bound to?
The Rocky Mountains is my home,
Across the Western Ocean.

2. The Land of Promise there you'll see,
Amelia, whar you bound to?
I'm bound across the western sea,
To join the Irish Army.

3. To Liverpool I'll take my way,
Amelia, whar you bound to?
To Liverpool that Yankee school,
Across the Western Ocean.

4. There's Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat,
Amelia, whar you bound to?
And Yankee Jack the packet rat,
Across the Western Ocean.

5. Beware the packet ships, I say,
Amelia, whar you bound to?
They steal your hide and soul away,
Across the Western Ocean.
