Homeward bound, homeward bound
From a foreign shore;
and this was also a favourite in the West with the passengers on sternwheel steamboats. There was another—
My boat is by the shore,
And my bark is on the sea,
But before I go, Tom Moore,
Here’s a double health to thee.
And this one, also—
Oh, pilot, ’tis a fearful night,
There’s danger on the deep.
