SITE SOURCE: Sydney Folklore Project - Section 7: MARITIME I Wish I Was In QueenslandOh, we're bound away in WinefredCommanded by G M Maxted To the land, to the land etc Single, married and children too With doctor and matron to look after you. To the land, to the land etc I wish I was in Queensland Heigh Ho Ley-dan In that lovely land I'll take my stand I'll live and die in Queensland We've lots of jolly single girls So nobby with their teeth and curls To the land, to the land And just as many single en Who'll take delight in looking at them To the land, to the land Oh and when we get to this land of clover We'll stick to cocktails, bandy and soda To the land, to the land And if we can't get that, d'yer see, We'll stick to damper, mutton and tea Now girls cheer up for Moreton Bay And wish for a fair wind every day Take my advice and never despair You'll find it better to 'act on the square'
