Lyrics

Murrumbidgee Rose Where the Murrumbidgee flows, and the golden wattle grows There lives the sweetest girl I know She has eyes of azure blue and a heart so fond and true My little Murrumbidgee Rose She is my own sweet Murrumbidgee Rose She is as fair as any rose that grows At night I'm dreaming of Rose, dear Each day my love stronger grows, dear And as the breeze sighs through the blue gum trees And below, the river calmly flows When we're canoeing on thе river, I'll be wooing My little Murrumbidgee Rosе Wodonga I'm gonna wander to a place way down yonder Called Wodonga, hometown of mine Though there are no palm trees swaying, no ukeleles playing But to me it is divine Nowhere could be greater, south of the equator Though I've heard the Croajingolong is fine You can keep your Yarrawonga if you'll let me linger longer In Wodonga, hometown of mine Where's That Old Cobber of Mine Where's that old cobber of mine? Kind of rough, still he was fine He was not much for looks, not a great hand with books But he smiled, and he styled, They were grand Miss that old cobber, I do There'll be no other so true Through thick and through thin, he was there with a grin That old cobber of mine I'm Lonesome for Sydney Tonight I'm mighty lonesome for Sydney tonight, missing her more every day I can picture the moon's silver light, as it shines high over the bay I'd like to be down at Circular Quay watching the ferries depart And the stars mirrored down on the sea, what a cure for a lonely heart I miss the happy crowds, the traffic's roar, the places I hold so dear I miss the surf that breaks on Manly Shore, but they're far away and I'm lonely here If only wishing could make it come true, my heart would be filled delight But just at the moment, I'm blue, and mighty lonesome for Sydney tonight Just at the moment, I'm blue, and mighty lonesome for Sydney tonight
