Rolling Home Songtext / Lyric

Now farewell Australians daughters
we shall leave your fruitfull shores
we shall soon cross deep blue waters
to see our homes and friends ones more We shall sing backsongs and shantys
say goodbye to all friends here,
we shall soon trip our anchor
and for old hamburg we shall steer. Rolling Home, Rolling Home,
Rolling Home across the sea,
Rolling Home to dear old Hamburg,
Rolling Home dear land to be...

Eastward, Eastward ever Eastward
to the rising of the sun,
we have steer it, ever eastward
since our voyage has begun...

Off cape horn on a winters morning
setting sails in ice and snow,
you could hear the shellback shouten
hoist away, and let her go

Rolling Home, Rolling Home,
Rolling Home across the sea,
Rolling Home to dear old Hamburg,
Rolling Home dear land to be...

Rolling Home, Rolling Home,
Rolling Home across the sea,
Rolling Home to dear old Hamburg,
Rolling Home dear land to be...
