Was you ever in Quebec?
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
Stowin′ timber on the deck?
Bonnie heelan laddie
Was you ever in Dundee?
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
There's some pretty ships you′ll see
Bonnie heelan laddie
Hey ho, and away we'll go
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
Hey ho, and away we'll go
Bonnie heelan laddie
This Boston town don′t suit my notion
And I′m bound for far away
So I'll pack my bag and sail the ocean
And I′ll see you on another day
Was you ever in Mobile Bay?
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
Loadin' cotton by the day
Bonnie heelan laddie
Was you ever ′round Cape Horn?
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
With the lion and the unicorn?
Bonnie heelan laddie
Hey ho, and away we'll go
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
Hey ho, and away we′ll go
Bonnie heelan laddie
One of these days and it won't be long
And I'm bound for far away
You′ll take a look around and find me gone
And I′ll see you on another day
Was you ever in Monterey?
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
On that town with three months pay?
Bonnie heelan laddie
Was you ever in Aberdeen?
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
Prettiest girls that you've ever seen?
Bonnie heelan laddie
Hey ho, and away we′ll go
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
Hey ho, and away we'll go
Bonnie heelan laddie
Farewell, dear friends, I′m leaving soon
And I'm bound for far away
We′ll meet again this coming June
And I'll see you on another day
Hey ho, and away we'll go
Bonnie laddie, heelan laddie
Hey ho, and away we′ll go
Bonnie heelan laddie
Bonnie heelan laddie
Bonnie heelan laddie
