Wolfe Tones - Far Away In Australia lyrics

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 la** 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 la** 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 la** 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 la** The girl I left behind
