Homeward Bound from a year at sea With a fleet of ships in tow Northward now to my Marie And boys how the wind dost blow I'll tell you how I became this way twas for the love of a Cape Cod girl But not allowed by her mothers say Was Marie to wed a poor sailor Chorus: Come home, come home Sam Bellamy Come home To leave no more, my heart is yours, she said Sam Bellamy come home (Spoken Words) I left Cape Cod with a skeleton crew on a trip to the west indies An honest man in search of treasure & gold But soon I cursed my luck & the empty seas So I started home, barren and broke When a trading vessel I did spy and swore to Christ I'd not be returning home as failed man in her eyes Chorus: Come home, come home Sam Bellamy Come home To leave no more, my heart is yours, she said Sam Bellamy come home A year has passed, and fifty attacks has made me a rich man at sea so I'm returning home with silver and gold One more day lads and I'll be free So tie off the rigging boys, a storms about to hit batten down we're not sailing around One day till freedom boys, just do what I say This time tomorrow we'll be in Cape Cod Bay Chorus: Come home, come home Sam Bellamy Come home To leave no more, my heart is yours, she said Sam Bellamy come home To leave no more, my heart is yours
