Bear Away Yankee, Bear Away Boy

Oh, deep the water an' shallow the shore
     Bear away Yankee, bear away boy
Bear away and dere she go
     Bear away Yankee, bear away boy

Oh deep the water an' shallow the shore
     Bear away Yankee, bear away boy
Bear away to Noble Bay
     Bear away Yankee, bear away boy


Oh what me going tell John Gould today?
Oh what me going tell John Gould today?

Oh what me going tell John Gould today?
Deep the water, shallow the shore.

Bear away Yankee, Bear away boy
Bear away Yankee, Bear away boy.
