The Bay of Suvla |
| Plucked from the finest of hamlets and dales |
| From Sydney and Bristol and Yorkshire we hail |
| Riding the finest of summertime gales |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| And it’s away, Suvla Bay |
| Haulin' away to the Suvla Bay |
| Fare thee well my pretty young maids |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| Our wake it is bursting right over the pier |
| The engines do carry this bold chevalier |
| To face the brave Abdul Abulbul Amir |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| And it’s away, Suvla Bay |
| Haulin' away to the Suvla Bay |
| Fare thee well my pretty young maids |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| And it’s haul ‘er straight over and hard to the right |
| The waters are clear and the sand it is white |
| Old Mr. Stopford will set us alight |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| And it’s away, Suvla Bay |
| Haulin' away to the Suvla Bay |
| Fare thee well my pretty young maids |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| Well the wind it is fair and the stars have aligned |
| We’ll sell our salt cod for sweet olives and wine |
| And string up the Kaiser by Thanksgiving time |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| And it’s away, Suvla Bay |
| Haulin' away to the Suvla Bay |
| Fare thee well my pretty young maids |
| We’re bound for the Bay of Suvla |
| We are bound for the Bay of Suvla |
