BUNDLIN My name is Willy Reilly And in Dublin I was born And for my bad behaviour I was forced to cross the foam Chorus: With me bundlin on me shoulder My shilleleagh in me hand For to ramble the bushes of Australia Like a true-born Irish man The wind, being in our favor We raised our sails with glee And we gave three hearty cheers, me boys Going down the Irish Sea We gave three heart cheers, me boys Going down the Irish Sea And on the eleventh day of April We landed and Port McGee Chorus And when we reached old Melbourne The ladies danced with joy Says one of them to the other "Here comes an Irish boy!" And some they drank from glasses And some they drank from cans And we danced and sang all 'round the halls To the health of this Irish man Chorus Says the mother to her daughter "I cannot understand Why you're going to wed this Irish boy All the way from Paddy's land." Says the daughter to her mother "Should I do the best I can For to ramble the bushes of Australia With my true-born Irish man." Chorus Chorus --Mbo |
