The work was hard and wages low
Amelia – where you bound to?
Now the time to roll and go
Across the western ocean
Oh Amelia – where you bound to?

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?

Amelia – where you bound to?
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?

Amelia – where you bound to?
Amelia – where you bound to?
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?

Amelia – where you bound to?
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?

Amelia – where you bound to?
Amelia – where you bound to?
