Across the Western Ocean lyrics by Pressgang Mutiny

Verse 1
Oh, the times are hard and the wage is low
Amelia, where you bound to?
The Rocky Mountains will be my home
Across the Western Ocean

Verse 2
It’s a land of plenty, there you’ll see
Amelia, where you bound to?
I’m off across the western sea
Across the Western Ocean

Verse 3
We’re bound away from friends and home
Amelia, where you bound to?
We’re bound away, new lands to roam
Across the Western Ocеan

Verse 4
Beware those packеt ships, I say
Amelia, where you bound to?
They’ll steal your stores and clothes away
Across the Western Ocean

Verse 5
There’s Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat
Amelia, where you bound to?
And Yankee Jack that packet rat
Across the Western Ocean

Verse 6
Oh, mother, father, say goodbye
Amelia, where you bound to?
And sisters, brother, don’t you cry
Across the Western Ocean
