“Sweetheart I’m bidding you fond farewell,
D
I will be yours some day.
Em D C G
I’m bound for a new land, my fortune to try
D G
And I’m ready to sail away”.
[Refrão]G D
“Far away in Australia,
Em D C
Soon will fate be kind
Em D C G
And I will be ready to welcome at last
D G
The girl I left behind”.
“Oh, you can’t leave me”, this poor maiden said,
“I will not let you go”.
“But I most leave you”, he gently replied,
“if for only a while, you know”.
(Chorus)
“Now whether in success or in failure,
I will always be true,
And proudly each day, in that land far away,
I’ll be building a home to you”.
(Chorus)
Daily she waits at the old cottage gate,
Watching the whole day through,
Then one day a message from over the sea,
And I’m hoping these words are true.
(Chorus, with variation:)
“Far away in Australia,
Now has come the time
When I am ready to welcome at last
The girl I left behind”.
