Try John Warner's "Anderson's Coast" (click), © 1993, which has the chorus:

C----------G------------------C--D
But Ann-ie dear, don't wait for me,
---------C
I fear I shall not return to thee;
---------G-------D-G-------------------D
There's naught to do, but endure my fate,
-----------------C----------------G-D
And watch the moon, the lone-ly moon,
----------C--------------------------G
Light the breakers, on wild Bass Strait.

John's from Australia and recorded this one with Margaret Walters on PITHEAD IN THE FERN.

I believe that Tommy Makem has sung this one as well. I've also heard Gordon Bok sing it.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
