Farewell to all ye boys
Thanks for all the laughs and all the joy
I'm heading away, I don't know for how long
I'm sick of this country doing me wrong
I'm getting on a plane like many others
Heading off to the land down under
I'll see ye all again fairly soon
But for now I'll leave ye with this tune
With this tune
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We all know someone who has moved away
So they can earn a good week's pay
Your brothers, your friends, your neighbours, your cousins
They've all gone away, nearly in dozens
I'm getting on a plane like many others
I'm heading off to the land down under
I'll see ye all again fairly soon
But for now I'll leave ye with this tune
With this tune
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm getting on a plane like many others
Heading off to the land down under
I'll see ye all again fairly soon
But for now I'll leave with this tune
But for now I'll leave ye with this tune
