Far Away in Australia

Sweetheart I'm bidding you a fond farewell

Murmured the youth one day

I'm off to a new land my fortune to to try

And I'm ready to sail away

Far away in Australia, soon will faith be kind

And I will be ready to welcome the lass

The girl I left behind

Must we be parted this fair maid cried

I cannot let you go

Still I must leave you,the young man replied

But for only a while you know

Far away in Australia, soon will faith be kind

And I will be ready to welcome the lass

The girl I left behind

Wheather it's success or failure

I will always be true

Proudly each day in a land far away

I'll be building a home for you

Far away in Australia, soon will faith be kind

And I will be ready to welcome the lass

The girl I left behind

Daily she waits at the old cottage gates

Watching the whole day through

Till a sweet message comes over the waves

In a new world to join two

Far away in Australia, soon will faith be kind

And I will be ready to welcome the lass

The girl I left behind
