Far Away in Australia Songtext
von Schooner Fare

And it′s far away in Australia
Soon will fate be kind
And I will be ready to welcome at last
The girl that I left behind

Sweetheart, this time I must bid you goodbye
Murmured the youth one day
I'm off to a new land my fortune to try
And I′m ready to sail away

Oh, must you depart now, this fair one did cry
I cannot let you go
Oh, yes, I must leave you, he gently replied
Just for a while or so

And it's far away in Australia
Soon will fate be kind
And I will be ready to welcome at last
The girl that I left behind


Sadly she waits by the old cottage gate
Waiting the whole day through
Until a message comes over the wire
And she's hoping these words are true

Oh, it′s been successful and fair, love
I will be always true
And while I stay in this land far away
I′ll be building a home for you

And it's far away in Australia
Soon will fate be kind
And I will be ready to welcome at last
The girl that I left behind

And it′s far away in Australia
Soon will fate be kind
And I will be ready to welcome at last
The girl that I left behind

And it's far away in Australia
Soon will fate be kind
And I will be ready to welcome at last
The girl that I left behind
