Marco Polo by Hughie Jones of The Spinners

The Marco Polo's a very fine ship The fastest on the sea
On Australia's strand we soon will land Bully Forbes he can look for me.
Gonna jump the ship in Melbourne town Go a-digging gold.
There's a fortune found beneath the ground Where the eucalyptus grow.

Marco Polo, the fastest on the sea.
Marco Polo, the fastest on the sea

The Blackball owner Mr. Baines, Said to Bully Forbes one day,
"It's up to you to keep your crew When the gold calls them away."
Said Bully Forbes to Mr. Baines, "I have a plan so fine.
Leave it to me and then you will agree I'm the king of the Blackball Line"

Now when we reached the Australia shore Bully Forbes he declared, "There is scurvy.
Now on this trip you will not leave this ship Until we reach the Mersey."
And now we lie in the Salthouse Dock, I'll go to sea no more, sir
I've done me time in the Blackball Line, Under Captain Bully Forbes, sir
