I can't find it via searches on D.T./M.C. here or via Google or Lycos. Here are the opening lyrics close as I can figure them out; I would appreciate the rest of the lyrics, and any other info. Thanks! (drop an email if you have info). My ship she sails in the morning For half a world away So raise your (you?) glasses just once more <...??> ... ... CHORUS: Farewell you little narrow streets I wandered as a child Farewell you (kindly?) neighbors, I used to drive you wild I'm bound for South Australia, the land of great renown And I'll drink today, before I'll say, 'farewell to my native town' End of verse has line about the shores of Botany Bay Thanks, Mark |

I can't dig it out just now but I'll try over the weekend. But first I'll do a search on Google and see what I find. Don Meixner |

For the full text and tune as originally collected in Australia in the 1950s, see this earlier thread: Lyr/Tune Add: SHORES OF BOTANY BAY Tiger has posted the lyric asked for here in a separate thread: Lyr Add: Botany Bay (another) - Masterless Men |
