Testo Australia - Steeleye Span
Testo della canzone Australia (Steeleye Span), tratta dall'album Horkstow Grange
When I was a young man
My age seventeen
I ought to have been serving
Victoria my queen
But them hard-hearted judges
Oh how cruel they be
For to send us poor lads
To Australia
I fell in with a damsel
She was handsome and gay
I neglected my work
More and more every day
And to keep her like a lady
I went on the highway
And for that I was sent
To Australia
Australia, Australia
I would ne'er see no more
Worn out with the fever
Cast down to death's door
And if I ever live
Say seven years more
I would soon bid adieu
To Australia
Now the judges they stand
With their whips in their hands
And they drive us like horses
To plough up the land
You should see us poor young fellas
Working in the jail yard
How cruel is our fate
In Australia
Australia, Australia
I would ne'er see no more
Worn out with the fever
Cast down to death's door
And if I ever live
Say seven years more
I would soon bid adieu
To Australia
