about

from forth-coming 'Five Songs' EP

lyrics

The times were hard and the wages low
Amelia, where you bound?
Oh the Rocky Mountains are my home
Across the western ocean

It's a land of plenty there you'll see
Amelia, where you bound?
I am off across the western sea
Across the western ocean

To Liverpool I'll make my way
Amelia, where you bound?
To Liverpool the seaport town
Across the western ocean

Beware those packet ships, I pray
Amelia, where you bound?
They'll steal your gold and your stores away
Across the western ocean

The times were hard and the wages low
Amelia, where you bound?
Oh the Rocky Mountains are my home
Across the western ocean
