Verse 2
Now the time has arrived to pack your bags for Australia
All the boasts that we heard are burning the boats on your doorstep
Turn your back on those idle words, say goodbye to the Clyde and all the yards.

Song is about a shipyard worker on the River Clyde, near Glasgow who moves to Australia in search of opportunity when the emmigration drive to Australia happened.
