[intro]

Leave not your native land behind.
(Leave not your native land behind.)

Leave not your native land behind.
(Leave not your native land behind.)
(ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhh)
Though all the fates should prove unkind,
Leave not your native land behind.
Leave not your native land behind.

The ship, becalmed, at length stands still;(oooooooooooooo)
The steed must rest beneath the hill;
But swiftly still our fortunes pace(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
To find us out in every place.

The vessel, though her masts be firm,(oooooooooooooo)
Beneath her copper bears a worm;
Around the cape, across the line,(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Till fields of ice her course confine;

Leave not your native land behind.
(Leave not your native land behind.)

Though all the fates should prove unkind,
(Leave not your native land behind.)
Leave not your native land behind.

The ship, becalmed, at length stands still;(oooooooooooooo)
The steed must rest beneath the hill;
But swiftly still our fortunes pace(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
To find us out in every place.

It matters not how smooth the breeze,(oooooooooooooo)
How shallow or how deep the seas,
Whether she bears Manilla twine,(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Or in her hold Madeira wine,

[musical break]

Leave not your native land behind.
(Leave not your native land behind.)

Though all the fates should prove unkind,
(Leave not your native land behind.)
Leave not your native land behind.

The ship, becalmed, at length stands still;(oooooooooooooo)
The steed must rest beneath the hill;
But swiftly still our fortunes pace(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
To find us out in every place.

Or China teas, or Spanish hides,(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
In port or quarantine she rides;(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Far from New England's blustering shore,(oooooooooooooo)
New England's worm her hulk shall bore,(oooooooooooooo)

And sink her in the Indian seas,
Twine, wine, and hides, and China teas.
[breakdown outro]

Though all the fates should prove unkind,
(Leave not your native land behind.)
Leave not your native land behind.

Leave not your native land behind.
(Leave not your native land behind.)
