[Verse 1] Was you ever in Quebec, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie Stowin' timber on the deck, bonny hielan' laddie? Was you ever in Dundee, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie? There some pretty ships you'll see, bonny hielan' laddie [Chorus] Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny hielan' laddie [Bridge 1] 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 [Verse 2] Was you ever in Mobile Bay, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie Loadin' cotton by the day, bonny hielan' laddie? Was you ever 'round Cape Horn, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie With the Lion and the Unicorn, bonny hielan' laddie? [Chorus] Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny hielan' laddie [Bridge 2] 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 [Banjo Solo] [Verse 3] Was you ever in Monterey, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie On that town with three months pay, bonny hielan' laddie? Was you ever in Aberdeen, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie? Prettiest girls that you've ever seen, bonny hielan' laddie [Chorus] Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny hielan' laddie [Bridge 3] 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 [Chorus] Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny laddie, hielan' laddie Hey, ho, and away we go, bonny hielan' laddie [Outro] Bonny hielan' laddie Bonny hielan' laddie
