Celius Dougherty — Across the Western Ocean

Oh, the times are hard and the wages low Oh, sailor, where you bound to? The Rocky Mountains are my home Across the western ocean We are going away from friends and home Oh, sailor, where you bound to? We're going away to search for gold Across the western ocean Fathers, mothers, say goodbye Oh, sailor, where you bound to? Sisters, brothers, don't you cry O'er the western ocean
