about

A traditional song, sad, as with all songs of its type, and hopeful perhaps in its own way. When you have nothing maybe you have to move on?

lyrics

Amelia where you bound to/Across the western ocean

The work was hard and wages low
(Amelia - where you bound to?)
Now’s the time to roll and go
across the western ocean
(oh Amelia - where you bound to?)

CHORUS

Amelia - where you bound to?
Amelia - where you bound to?

I've been in the army and I've worked on the farm
(Amelia - where you bound to?)
all I've got to show is the muscle in my arm
across this western ocean
(oh Amelia - where you bound to?)

Birds in the air and fishes in the sea
(Amelia - where you bound to?)
A red - haired woman made a mess out of me
across this western ocean
(oh Amelia - where you bound to?)

CHORUS

If I had the wings of Noah's dove
(Amelia - where you bound to?)
I'd fly back home to the one I love
across this western ocean
(Oh, Amelia - where you bound to?)

If there's just one thing that does me pain
(Amelia - where you bound to?)
that's to never see your fair face again
across this western ocean
(Oh Amelia - where you bound to?)
