Far Away in Australia

And it's far away in Australia
 Soon will fate be kind
 And I will be ready to welcome at last
 The girl that I left behind
 Sweetheart, this time I must bid you goodbye
 Murmured the youth one day
 I'm off to a new land my fortune to try
 And I'm ready to sail away
 Oh, must you depart now, this fair one did cry
 I cannot let you go
 Oh, yes, I must leave you, he gently replied
 Just for a while or so
 And it's far away in Australia
 Soon will fate be kind
 And I will be ready to welcome at last
 The girl that I left behind
 Sadly she waits by the old cottage gate
 Waiting the whole day through
 Until a message comes over the wire
 And she's hoping these words are true
 Oh, it's been successful and fair, love
 I will be always true
 And while I stay in this land far away
 I'll be building a home for you
 And it's far away in Australia
 Soon will fate be kind
 And I will be ready to welcome at last
 The girl that I left behind
 And it's far away in Australia
 Soon will fate be kind
 And I will be ready to welcome at last
 The girl that I left behind
 And it's far away in Australia
 Soon will fate be kind
 And I will be ready to welcome at last
 The girl that I left behind
