Outward Bound

We are outward bound to Nelson Town.
Goodbye fair ye well, goodbye fair ye well,
We are outward bound to Nelson Town,
Hurrah my boys, we are outward bound.

We are homeward bound to London town,
Goodbye fair ye well, goodbye fair ye well,
We are homeward bound for London Town,
Hurrah e boys we're homeward bound.
