ACROSS THE WESTERN OCEAN
Oh the times are hard and the wages low
Amelia, where you bound?
The Rocky Mountains is my home
Across the Western Ocean
It's a land of plenty there you'll see
I'm off across the Western Sea
To Liverpool I'll make my way
To Liverpool that Yankee school
There's Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat
And Yankee John the packet rat
Beware those packet ships, I pray,
They'll steal your stores and your clothes away
Note: verses and tunes can be swapped with Leave Her Johnny
From Songs of the Irish in America, Meek
