THe popular Halfwit sent me a CD, with this on it, I transcribed it... any one have any information on it, and notice any misheard words?
Cheers, (Gud'ay to the likely answerers...)

Oh Anie dear dont wait for me
I fear I shall not return to thee
there's naught to do but endure my fate
and watch the moon, the lonly moon
Ride the breakers on Wild Bass Straight

Oh Bass Straight roars like some great mill race
and where are you my Anie
And the same moon shines on this lonly place
as shone one day on my Annie's face
But Annie dear dont wait for me
I fear I shall not return to thee
there's naught to do but endure my fate
and watch the moon the lonly moon
Ride the breakers on Wild Bass Straight

We stole a vessle and all her gear
and where are you my Annie
and from Van Beamons we north did stear
till Bass Straights Wild waves wreaked us here
But Annie dear dont wait for me
I fear I sahll not return to thee
there's naught to do but endure my fate
and watch the moon, the lonly moon
Ride the breakers on Wild Bass Straights

And somewhere west, Port Melborne lies
and where are you my Anie
through swamps infested with snakes and flies
The fool who walks there surely dies.
we hailed no ships thought the time it drages
And where are you my Annie
our chani gaing walk and our government rages
all mark us out as Van Demon's lags
But Anie dear dont wait for me
I fear I sahll not return to thee
there's naught to do but endure my fate
and watch the moon, the lonly moon
Ride the breakers on Wild Bass Straight

We fled the lash and the chaffing chain
and where are you my Annie
we fled hard labour and brutal pain
and here we are and here remain
but Annie dear dont wait for me
I fear I shall not return to thee
there's naught to do but endure my fate
and watch the moon, the lonly moon
Ride the breakers on Wild Bass Straight
