Sweetheart I'm bidding you fond farewell
I will be yours someday
I'm bound for a new land my fortune to try
And I'm ready to sail away
Far away in Australia
Soon will fate be kind
And I will be ready to welcome at last
The girl I left behind
Oh you can't leave me this poor maiden said
I will not let you go
But I must leave you he gently replied
If for only a while you know
Far away in Australia
Soon will fate be kind
And I will be ready to welcome at last
The girl I left behind
Now in success or in failure
I will always be true
And proudly each day in a land far away
I'll be building a home for you
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
Far away in Australia
Now has come the time
When I am ready to welcome at last
The girl I left behind
