Here are the words, as far as I can tell, to The Maritime as performed by John Beavis and Steve Moffat at the fifth Auckland Folk Festival (Moller's) in 1978

Well I saw the boat this evening reaching out across the water
Moving slowly past the bridges to the entrance of the harbour
Let there be a bird as fair that I might find to take me further
With our backs against the breeze and outward bound

Outward bound, leaving everything I've found without regret
I will pack my things and follow while I can
Unsentimental ocean-going man

And reflections from the windows of the cars out on the tollway
As I lay against the jetty with the wall across my shoulders
And I strain my ears to listen to the creaking of the canvas
The endless water glisten, can you hear that restless call?

Restless call. We'll be leaving on the turning of the tide
I will pack my things and follow while I can
Unsentimental ocean-going man

The first verse is then repeated, interspersed with the following version of the first verse of "The Water Is Wide"

'The water is wide
I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And I will row my love and I'

Outward bound, leaving everything I've found without regret
I will pack my things and follow while I can
Unsentimental ocean-going man
