For the sake of you, my darling,
I'm bound away, my darling.
For the sake of you, my darling,
I'm bound away.
Far across away the sea, my darling,
I'm bound away, my darling.
Far across away the sea, my darling.
I'm bound away.
Bound to sail from Carolina,
I'm bound away, my darling.
Bound aboard an ocean liner.
I'm bound away.
Bound to sail the bitter ocean,
I'm bound away, my darling.
No hope and all devotion.
I'm bound away.
So, dry your tears, have no more sorrow,
I'm bound away, my darling.
For the packet sails tomorrow.
I'm bound away.
