lyrics

Ten years ago I left my old home
In the mines of Australia to toil
I bid my old father and mother adieu
Sayin ‘Dad I won’t be long away’
But ten years have passed and fortune favoured at last
And I’m leaving Australia, I’m leaving Australia today

I'm going back to my dear old pals
Far away over the sea
Ah where there’s a welcome
Where there’s a welcome for me
Many a year has passed away
Since I left old England's shore
Ah carry me back to dear old England once more

God speed the vessel that carries me back
Carry me back won’t you carry me back

I sailed to the west with a dear friend of mine
Each having a share of one claim
And taking bad luck as it came with the rest
And working on just the same
Til a cowardly blow it struck my poor pal low
Who struck him I could not tell
But the share of his gold it lies close to my heart
For his mother and dear sister, for his mother and dear sister Nell

I'm going back to my dear old pals
Far away over the sea
Ah where there’s a welcome
Where there’s a welcome for me
Many a year has passed away
Since I left old England's shore
Ah carry me back to dear old England once more

I’m going back to my dear old friends far away over the sea
Far away over
Over the sea
