The first two verses are from Fender. I supplied the rest.

1. He says young maid will you come along with me
   To the sunny shore of Amer-eye-kee.
2. She says young man I will will go along with ye
   To the sunny shores of Amer-eye-kee.
3. And when they reached that sunny land
   He asked his true love for her hand.
4. We’re outward bound at the break of day
   We’re outward bound for Amer-eye-kee.
5. And when we reach that sunny shore
   This lousy tub we’ll see no more.
6. Heave and bust her is the cry
   A sailors wage is never high.
