[Verse]
Now when the wind is Fbright with the Cspring and the snow has gone aBbway
The Cdays grow long and the Ftime has Ccome to Fhoist my sail and Ggo
And I'll Chear no more your dungeon door, nor Feat your bitter Gbeans
CSurely it's a long and a hungry road 'til McBbKeon's Ghome aCgainF  C  
[Verse]
I'll go down by the FNaskeag CSound where the tide runs fast and Bbstrong
The Cwater's deep and the Fhills are Csteep and the Fnights are cold and Glong
And Cthrough the rocks of Jericho, I'll Fwind my weary Gway
And Croll her off for Sable, aye, and the Bbgrey seals of GFunCdyF  C  
[Verse]
For the wind is fair and the Ftide's at the Cspring and the time has come to Bbgo
CHoist my sail on a FNorthern Cwind and FI'll be on my Gway
Ah, but Cthere's no one can go with me and there's Fno one by my Gside
CSurely it's a long and a lonely road for the BbStraits of GCanCsoF  C  
[Verse]
Oh, the wind is fair and the Ftide's at the Cspring and the time has come to Bbgo
CHoist my sail on a FNorthern Cwind and FI'll be on my Gway
And I'll Chear no more your dungeon door, nor Feat your bitter Gbeans
CSurely it's a long and a hungry road 'til McBbKeon's Ghome aCgainF  C
