1. Was you ever in Quebec
ref: Hieland Laddie, bonnie Laddie
Launching timber on the deck
ref: Me bonnie Hieland, Laddie-oh!
2. Was you ever in mobile bay
Screwin cotton on a summers day!
3. Was you ever off cape Horn
where the weather’s never warm
Full ref: Way hey and away we’ll go
Hieland Laddie, bonnie Laddie
Way hey and away we’ll go
Me bonnie Hieland, Laddie-oh!
Was you even in Miramshee
Where you tie up to a tree
Was you even in London town
where the girls they do come down
Was you ever in Mobile Bay
Drinking coffe and bohay
Was you ever in Vallipo
where the girls put up a show
Was you ever in Mobile Bay
where the girls all shout hooray!
