To Liverpool docks we bid adieu,

And when we get to the Dog and Bell,
And when Jack's money is gone and spent,
CHORUS: For you know you're outward bound. |

23 Nov 16 - 02:46 PM (#3822303) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: outward/homeward bound From: Steve Gardham It may well have become a forebitter but it was written by William Upton for the stage in about 1790. See the Universal Songster. |
23 Nov 16 - 04:42 PM (#3822314) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: outward/homeward bound From: BrooklynJay At the Sunnyside Singers (in Queens, New York) there is an Irish fellow named Martin Daly who does a lovely version of this song, accompanying himself on the guitar. It's the version I'm most familiar with, and, of course, I've forgotten who Martin told me he got it from. (I believe it was Jimmy something-or-other, but I just can't recall anything more.) Next time I see Martin I'll have to remind myself to ask him for the details. Jay |

22 Mar 20 - 02:41 PM (#4041353) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: outward/homeward bound From: Phil Cooper And here, I thought it was about Tom Paxton's song Outward Bound, or Paul Simon's Homeward Bound. I was wondering how they'd get mixed up. Good post anyway. |
22 Mar 20 - 03:13 PM (#4041370) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: outward/homeward bound From: GUEST,Lighter "Tip" means to give (hence modern "tip," a gratuity or bit of useful information or advice). "Chink," for many decades, meant money; in this case, pay. So the phrase "The purser he will tip the chink" means he'll lay the bread on us. |

29 Mar 20 - 03:27 PM (#4042932) Subject: Lyr Add: LANDLADY CASEY (1799) From: Jim Dixon Another example of "tip the chink": From The Comic Songster: Or Laughing Companion ... Fourth Edition (London, 1789), page 7: LANDLADY CASEY. Sung by Mrs. Kennedy, in Fontainbleau. The British lion is my sign, A roaring trade I drive on; Right English usage—neat French wine A landlady may thrive on: At table d'hôte to eat and drink, Let French and English mingle; And while to me they tip the chink, Faith, let the glasses jingle. CHORUS: Your rhino rattle, Come men and cattle, Come all to Mrs. Casey: Of trouble and money, My jewel, my honey, I warrant I'll make you easy. When dressed and seated in my bar, Let 'squire, or beau, or belle come; Let Captains kiss me if they dare, It's "Sir, you're kindly welcome!" On shuffle, cog, and slip, I wink, Let rooks and pigeons mingle; And if to me they bring the chink, Faith, let the glasses jingle. Let love fly here on silken wings, His tricks I still connive at; The lover who would say soft things, Shall have a room in private: On pleasure I am pleased to wink, So lips in kisses mingle; For while to me they bring the chink, Faith, let the glasses jingle. [Rhino is another old slang word for money.] |

31 Mar 20 - 01:12 PM (#4043395) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: outward/homeward bound From: leeneia Here are some chords for this song from the stage c. 1790. Once in the while the first note of a measure is not harmonious, so I picked the best chord for three out of four notes. It's in the key of D, 2/4 time. Sticks and dots are in the DT. [pick-up notes]To the [D] Liverpool docks we'll bid adieu to [G]Sal and Kate an' [D]Bessie, too. The [G]anchor's aweigh an' our [D]sails are unfurled And we're [A]bound to [D]plow the [A]wat'ry world. Hur- [D]rah, we're outward [A]bou-ou-ound.
