Rolling Home
Now farewell, Australian's daughters
We shall leave your fruitful shores
We shall soon cross deep blue waters
To see our home and friends once more
We shall sing back songs and shanties
Say goodbye to all friends here
We shall soon trip our anchor
And for old Hamburg we shall steer
Rollin' home, rollin' home
Rollin' home across the sea
Rollin' home to dear old Hamburg
Rollin' home, dear land, to thee
Eastward, eastward, ever eastward
To the setting of the sun
We have steered ever eastward
Since our voyage has begun
Off Cape Horn on a winter's mornin'
Setting sails in ice and snow
You could hear the shellback's calling
"Hoist away and let her go!"
Rollin' home, rollin' home
Rollin' home across the sea
Rollin' home to dear old Hamburg
Rollin' home, dear land, to thee
We shall leave your fruitful shores
We shall soon cross deep blue waters
To see our home and friends once more
We shall sing back songs and shanties
Say goodbye to all friends here
We shall soon trip our anchor
And for old Hamburg we shall steer
Rollin' home, rollin' home
Rollin' home across the sea
Rollin' home to dear old Hamburg
Rollin' home, dear land, to thee
Eastward, eastward, ever eastward
To the setting of the sun
We have steered ever eastward
Since our voyage has begun
Off Cape Horn on a winter's mornin'
Setting sails in ice and snow
You could hear the shellback's calling
"Hoist away and let her go!"
Rollin' home, rollin' home
Rollin' home across the sea
Rollin' home to dear old Hamburg
Rollin' home, dear land, to thee
