Lyrics

Goodbye Melbourne Town Goodbye Melbourne town, Melbourne town goodbye I am leaving you today for a country far away Though today I'm stony broke, without a single crown If I make a fortune, I'll come back and spend it In dear old Melbourne town Botany Bay Singin' tooralie-ooralie-addity Singin' tooralie-ooralie-ay Singin' tooralie-ooralie-addity Oh, we're bound for Botany Bay Farewell to old England forever Farewell to my old pals as well Farewell to the well-known Old Bailey Where I once usеd to look such a swell Singin' tooralie-ooralie-addity Singin' tooraliе-ooralie-ay Singin' tooralie-ooralie-addity Oh, we're bound for Botany Bay Oh, if I had the wings of the turtledove I'd soar on my pinions so high Slap-bang to the arms of my Polly love And in her sweet presence I'd die Singin' tooralie-ooralie-addity Singin' tooralie-ooralie-ay Singin' tooralie-ooralie-addity Oh, we're bound for Botany Bay Wild Rover No More I've been a wild rover this many a year Spent all my money on whisky and beer But now I'm returning with gold in great store And I never shall play the wild rover no more For it's no, no, never Never, no more I never, never, ever shall play The wild rover no more I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask 'em to pardon their prodigal son And if they will do so, as they've done before Then I never shall play the wild rover no more For it's no, no, never Never, no more I never, never, ever shall play The wild rover no more
