Was you ever in Quebec? Bonny laddie, Hieland laddie
Stowing timber on the deck, me bonny Hieland laddie-o
Hey, ho and away we go, bonny laddie, Hieland laddie
Hey, ho and away we go me bonnie Hieland laddie-o
Was you ever in Mobile Bay?
Loading cotton by the day
Was you on the Brummalow?
Where Yankee boys are all the go
Was you ever in Dundee?
There some pretty ships you’ll see
Was you ever in Merrimashee?
Where you make fast to a tree
Was you ever in Aberdeen?
Prettiest girls you’ve ever seen
Was you ever in Maui?
Sound and ocean is all you see
Was you ever in Sicily?
Where the liquor is almost free
Was you ever in Newfoundland?
Drinking screech with both your hands
Was you ever in Providence?
Where it all seems to make sense
