The Lyrics
My Bounty flies over the ocean,
My Bounty, guys stole it from me.
My Bounty lies over the ocean,
I'll bring back my Bounty to me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty to me, to me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty to me.
That night, out they leapt; no sails billowed,
That night, they said, "Bligh should be bled!"
For nights, on I crept, no sails billowed,
But I made it back, though near dead.
Sailed back,
Sailed back,
I'd sailed back from Bounty, quite masterly.
Sailed back,
Sailed back,
I'd sailed back from Bounty safely.
They stole the boat in the commotion,
They stole the boat away from me.
I'm going back over the ocean
To bring back my Bounty to me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty you'll see, trust me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty, you'll see.
The boys, led by Fletch, got a notion:
They ditched on Pitcairn in the sea.
No buoys; she slips into the ocean;
The drink's grabbed my Bounty, not me.
Drink's grabbed,
Drink's grabbed,
The drink's grabbed my Bounty, the sea, not me.
Drinks grabbed,
Drinks grabbed,
Oh drinks grabbed; I drown rounds nightly.
My Bounty, guys stole it from me.
My Bounty lies over the ocean,
I'll bring back my Bounty to me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty to me, to me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty to me.
That night, out they leapt; no sails billowed,
That night, they said, "Bligh should be bled!"
For nights, on I crept, no sails billowed,
But I made it back, though near dead.
Sailed back,
Sailed back,
I'd sailed back from Bounty, quite masterly.
Sailed back,
Sailed back,
I'd sailed back from Bounty safely.
They stole the boat in the commotion,
They stole the boat away from me.
I'm going back over the ocean
To bring back my Bounty to me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty you'll see, trust me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
I'll bring back my Bounty, you'll see.
The boys, led by Fletch, got a notion:
They ditched on Pitcairn in the sea.
No buoys; she slips into the ocean;
The drink's grabbed my Bounty, not me.
Drink's grabbed,
Drink's grabbed,
The drink's grabbed my Bounty, the sea, not me.
Drinks grabbed,
Drinks grabbed,
Oh drinks grabbed; I drown rounds nightly.
