Trade winds blow the Southern Cross
Taking their prow across the sea
They came in peace through the Ashmore Reef
Smoke and steel and the tamarind seed
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the morning star
With my cousin crew
Sail down to the hole in the wall
The place we call Ratagala
To the shores of the far north east
Smoke, steel and the tamarind tree
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the morning star
With my cousin crew
