jim moray - leaving australia lyrics

Loading...

i sailed to the west with a schoolmate of mine
together we shared the hard toil
it was hard times at home which caused us to roam
no work for the sons of the soil

so i bade my own mother and father goodbye
said i’ll not be long away
though it’s ten years have past, fortune’s favoured at last
then i’m leaving australia today

i sailed to the west with a dear friend of mine
each having a share in one claim
and taking bad luck as it came with the rest
and working on each of the same

till a cowardly blow struck my poor pal low
who struck it i never could tell
though i’ll carry him home with a share of the gold
for his mother and his sister nell

so i’ll take it back to my own country
as far away across the sea
right back to the scenes of my childhood
where there’ll be a welcome for me

and it’s manys the year that has passed and gone
since i left old england’s shore
and may godspeed the vessel which carries me back
to my dear old homeland once more
