Far Away In Australia Traditional 
Sweetheart I'm bidding you fond farewell Murmured a youth one day I'm off to 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 the lass The girl I left behind 
Must we be parted?! his fairer one 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 fate be kind And I will be ready to welcome the lass The girl I left behind 
Whether in success or failure I will always be true Proudly each day in that land far away I'll be building a home for you 
Far away in Australia Soon will fate be kind And I will be ready to welcome the lass The girl I left behind 
Daily she waits at the old cottage gate Watching the whole day through Till that sweet message comes over the wave And in the new world they're joined as two 
Far away in Australia Soon will fate be kind And I will be ready to welcome the lass The girl I left behind
