Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Andy Jackson Date: 24 Oct 10 - 03:52 PM Cheers Reinhard, I only hope it is on his next cd, but I am sure he said it would be. Jillie on Miskin Man's cookie! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Reinhard Date: 24 Oct 10 - 12:03 PM Jillie, that is definitely not the transportation Ballad I mentioned above. I'm looking forward to John K.'s next CD and hope it will be on it. I did a Google search for a few phrases of your lyrics and found this verse in Maurice R. Cloughley: A World to the West, leading into Chapter XIV, The Coral Coast: Australia, me lads, is a mighty fine place Heave away, heave away, And to go there me lads is no disgrace We're bound for Australia |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Acorn4 Date: 24 Oct 10 - 11:25 AM There was the Spike Milligan one which ran something like:- We think of you each morning And in the evening too, We even wake up at midnight So that we can think of you Australia.... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Andy Jackson Date: 24 Oct 10 - 10:46 AM Jillie Here again. Andy has the LP (those flat black things) and has tranfered it to cd but there are one or 2 words thatI can't get. Reinhard: I think John Kirkpatrick is putting on his next cd, he sang it at concert on the IOW a couple of weeks ago. It starts: Heave away, and don't you make a noise for we're bound for Australia Australia me lads is a mighty fine place, Heave away, Heave away, And to go there me lads is a ………………. Heave a away my bonny bonny boys Heave away, Heave away, Heave away, and don't you make a noise for we're bound for Australia Heave a away my bonny bonny boys Heave away, Heave away, Heave away, and don't you make a noise for we're bound for Australia Mid rain and hail and wind and snow Heave away, Heave away, For ……..must go we're bound for Australia Heave a away my bonny bonny boys Heave away, Heave away, Heave away, and don't you make a noise for we're bound for Australia Heave a away my bonny bonny boys Heave away, Heave away, Heave away, and don't you make a noise for we're bound for Australia |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Leadfingers Date: 23 Oct 10 - 07:44 PM Uffa Fox recorded a CD of Nautical Songs so that Deportation Song doesnt seem like good fit Snuffy ! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Oct 10 - 07:07 PM Jillie, do you remember a few lines or phrases from the song? Titles can be confusing, but a few lines or phrases would help us know we've found the right song. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Snuffy Date: 23 Oct 10 - 06:30 PM Might be this one Jilly. Originally about transportation to Virginia, but subsequently updated when Australia became the destination. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Leadfingers Date: 23 Oct 10 - 03:29 PM Uffa Fox's CD is available from his web Site ! Here |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Australia From: Reinhard Date: 23 Oct 10 - 02:08 PM Do you mean the transportation ballad Australia as sung by Bob Hart and Cyril Poacher? But I can't find it in my John Kirkpatrick discography; at least not with this title. On Song Links his sings the transportation ballad The Convict's Lamentation, though. |
Subject: Lyr Req: Australia From: Andy Jackson Date: 23 Oct 10 - 11:06 AM Does anyone have the lyrics to Australia as sung by Uffa Fox and more recently by John Kirkpatrick. Not South Australia I have just realised that Andy is signed in on my laptop and I can't be arsed to change it!! Jillie aka Eye Lander. |
