Australia

Lyrics

Australia Don't strain your eyes boys Nothing there to see The sun's stop shining boys For the likes of you and me Some say the gallows Was a better place to be And we'll be lucky if we live to see Australia Young Davey Lacey Chained up next to me Known him since when he was Upon his Mama's knee Got into drinking And wretched company And he'll be lucky if he lives to see Australia And you're so far behind me now My heart is breaking Like the waves across the bow Don't fear the journey boys Don't fear the raging sea Don't fear the shackles boys The crew are no more free If we should flounder boys We'll all have company And we'll be lucky if we live to see Austalia
