Over deze songtekst:

Van dit lied zijn nog 2 coupletten:

To the Mediterranean shores we've been
And its beauties we have seen
And Sicily's grand and lofty hills
and Italy's gardens green.
We've gazed on Mount Vesuvius
With its rugged slumbering dome
Night is the time in that red clime
When the sailor thinks of home
When the sailor thinks of home

We've strayed round Pompeii's ruined walls
And on them carved our names.
And thought of ancient beauties past
And vanished lordly dames.
And gazed on tombs of mighty kings
Who oft in battle won,
But what were they all in their sway
With our brave Washington?
With our brave Washington?

De Jamestown was een in 1844 gebouwd oorlogsschip.

The farmer's heart with joy is filled
When his crops are good and sound
But who can feel the wild delight
Of the sailor homeward bound?
For three long years have passed away
Since we left freedom's shore
And our long-felt wish has come at last
And we're homeward bound once more
And we're homeward bound once more

To where the sky's as clear as the maiden's eye who longs for our return
To the land where milk and honey flows and liberty was born
So fill our sails with the favoring gales and with shipmates all around
And we'll give three cheers for our starry flag 
And the "Jamestown" homeward bound
And the "Jamestown" homeward bound

And now we have arrived in port
And stripping's our last job
And friendly faces look around
In search for Bill or Bob
They see that we are safe at last
From the perils of the sea
Saying, "Welcome, Columbia's mariners
To your homes and liberty
To your homes and liberty"

So fill our sails with the favoring gales and with shipmates all around
And we'll give three cheers for our starry flag 
And the "Jamestown" homeward bound
And the "Jamestown" homeward bound
