TAKE ME DOWN THE HARBOUR
As collected by John Meredith, from Mrs lna Popplewell (1953)
audio of Mrs Popplewell

Mrs Ina Popplewell interviewed by John Meredith

Take Me down the Harbour on a Sunday afternoon
To Manly Beach or Watson's Bay
Or round to Coogee for a day.
Call around at Clifton, or Mosman, it will do;
Good old Harbour Sydney Town,
They can't beat you.

CHORUS
Way over the tide, how softly they glide,
Out on a Harbour ferry.
If you feel alone,. ring me up on the 'phone,
You're just the girl I'm needing,

Take me down the Harbour on a Sunday afternoon
To Manly Beach or Watson's Bay
Or round to Coogee for a day.
Call around at Clifton, or Mosman, it will do;
Good old Harbour Sydney Town,
They can't beat you.
