I am an orphan girl In Westport I was found The workhouse is my world Since the praties took us down What time in life is left to me If I don’t leave Westport town? But the crown is sending girls to sea, For far Australia bound
[Chorus] Sail, sail, sail me away Sail to Australia-yay... Sail, sail, sail me - I pray! Sail me away... to Australia
They say Australia’s fine They say Australia’s fair Australia’s on my mind And the fields of praties there I pray when this inspection’s done That they’ll say me fit to sail For they don’t just send out anyone Oh Lord, don’t see me fail
[Chorus] Sail, sail, sail me away Sail to Australia-yay... Sail, sail, sail me - I pray! Sail me away... to Australia Ooooh, Australia...
I am scarcely turned sixteen But I’m ready now to go I’m decent and I’m clean Fit for any man to know And I will be some good man’s wife If there I’ll settle down And find myself a better life If I get to Sydney town
[Chorus] Sail, sail, sail me away Sail to Australia-yay... Sail, sail, sail me - I pray! Sail me away... to Australia
Sail me away... Sail me - I pray... Oh, sail me away to Australia...
