We're Bound to Go.
(Tune of Homeward Bound)  R.J. Bush

Off toward the North with its mountains of snow
We're bound to go - bound to go!
Though the waves & billows roar
We're bound to go - bound to go!
We heed not the cold nor the arctic icy wall,
We dread not the bear, nor the "Rory boreal",
Then bundle on furs boys & let your whiskers grow,
We're bound to go - bound to go!

[[line]]

Our band is young & brave with a hero at its head, &c
To girdle round the world with electric wire thread, &c
Tho' we lack the wings of Puck & others of his race
Who would girdle round the world in a 40 minute space
But with stubborn steady work we acomplish it we know!
Lo were bound to go - bound to go!

[[line]]

There are many lofty mountains, & craggy peaks to pass, &c
With wild & raging torrents as well as deep morass, &c
But when old rigid winter with his icy grasp
Shall forest lake & river, as [[insert]] ^ well as [[/insert]] people - clasp
Then perhaps we'll think of home, but whether so or no,
We're bound to go, boys - bound to go!

[[line]]

High amid the icy peaks our merry songs shall ring, &c
Of home friends & memories, our distant band shall sing, &c
