CYRIL DUNCAN Hawthorne Qld Recorded
I'm Going Back (I'm Leaving Australia Today)I sailed to the west with a school mate of mineAnd together we shared the hard toil It was hard times at home That caused us to roam No work for the sons of the sod So I bade my old father and mother goodbye And I said I'll not be long away But ten years have passed Fortunes have favoured at last And I'm leaving Australia today It's ten years since I came to Australia And I'm going back to my dear old home Far away over the sea Back to the scene of my childhood Where there's a welcome there for me Many years have passed away Since I left old England's shore And may god speed the vessel That carries me back To my dear old home once more |
