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
